最新报道:According to Bijie.com, on August 12th, following an anonymous complaint, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation conducted a five-hour raid on Mark Luongo's home and seized the internet-famous squirrel Peanut (nicknamed "P'Nut") and his partner, Fred, the raccoon. State officials subsequently euthanized both animals, citing rabies testing as the reason. DEC officials claimed that during the raid, P'Nut bit through a law enforcement officer's thick leather gloves, necessitating the killing of the squirrel and raccoon and testing for rabies. However, the state later acknowledged that both animals tested negative and never apologized or returned the pets' remains. According to court documents, the deaths of P'Nut and Fred were "not motivated by concerns about rabies" but rather "a senseless act of violence" and "a horrific display of government abuse of power." The lawsuit, filed on June 27th in Chemung County Superior Court in New York against the city of Elmira and 36 other state and city officials, adds to the lawsuit Longo and Bittner filed against the city of Elmira and 36 other city and state officials. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and a jury trial. The couple claims they have suffered emotional trauma and financial losses since losing their celebrity squirrel. According to the lawsuit, "P'Nut" frequently appeared on social media, including on OnlyFans.
