Wrong thread.

 

 

And for the usual suspects who dismiss this as a stupid story about a squirrel, read all of this.

 

 

Why Peanut the Squirrel Matters

David Strom 

 

If you live on Twitter/X (or any of the social media platforms), you will likely have heard the story of Peanut the Squirrel. 

 

Peanut has been a social media celebrity for seven years. An animal rescue nonprofit was built around him, saving hundreds of animals, from rodents to horses, from abuse, neglect, or simply bad luck. His story and his antics charmed millions of people, and helped people escape from the grittier and nastier realities of living in an unforgiving world. 

 

In the midst of the decisive election campaign of our lifetimes, why talk about Peanut the Squirrel?

Aren't there more important issues like the polls, turnout, shenanigans, and all the day's news?

 

Yes, all those things matter. But the story of Peanut matters because it is a microcosm of what we are facing.

A nameless, faceless, and merciless bureaucracy with no sense of proportion or empathy can, at a whim, upend people's lives over what amounts to nothing.

It can seize a beloved family pet, the mascot of an organization that does enormous good, just because some nanny-stater decides they don't approve. 

 

The streets of New York City are filled with criminals and migrants, billions are spent on hotel rooms for illegals, drugs are ravaging our communities, and lawlessness is spreading in ways that degrade our civilization. Those are big problems that are difficult to deal with, so the government turns its Sauron eye to Peanut because it can overwhelm the little guy with no problem. 

 

Improving people's lives is hard. Killing a squirrel is easy.

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation raided a man’s home to seize and then euthanize his internet-famous pet squirrel, Peanut.

 

Now, I’m not sure about crying over a squirrel and a raccoon … but having the state raid your home has to be a traumatizing experience.

 

You don’t have to be an animal lover to realize that the government is way overstepping what their bounds should have been in this case. It’s literally insane.

 

They intimidated my wife to ask her her immigration status.

 

Welp, we’ve finally found the type of criminal that the Sanctuary City of New York feels necessary to threaten with deportation.
