    Maybe get some of those permits for your animals before you get them killed through negligence. Dont play chicken with the State. Dont vote for Donald Trump.

      Killing an animal because their owner didn’t have their papers is ridiculas. The animal shouldn’t be punished because the owner was a dumbass.

        They didn’t kill him because he didn’t have a permit. They killed him because they couldn’t verify the squirrel’s health, due to the owner forgoing vet treatment and documentation, because he didn’t have a permit for the squirrel

        Nearly as fucked up as making viral videos with an animal and never bothering to make sure its legal before you exploit it.

            Dude used the squirrel to make viral videos, now that his money stream is gone because he never bothered to get permits for the poor squirrel he’s blaming the state of New York. The raid wouldnt have happened if he got permits and if some other Rubepublican in Texas wasn’t screeching about him not having it. This is one massive Ruth Goldberg footgun and the only victim here are the rescue animals he kept as pets.

              not to mention the squirrel got injured to the point it’s bone was sticking out of its tail and the guy didn’t take it to the vet because they wouldn’t let him keep it as a pet.

                When everyone else leaves out essential details…

                They knew it they needed a license, they knew it needed care, but they didn’t take care of it or make any effort to make it legal because…they didn’t want to lose their upload momentum?

              In 14 states it’s totally legal. Also, not a single case of rabies in the US has ever come from a squirrel. They can be a pet as much as a rat can be a pet and those are allowed in pretty much any state.

              Squirrels are just bushy tailed tree rats, rats are not prohibited or require permits in any state. The law is idiotic and killing an animal because the owner didn’t have papers is idiotic and spiteful.

                The animal wasn’t killed because the owner didn’t have papers. The animal was killed because it was on video several times biting it’s owner, and you cannot test for rabies without killing the animal and examining its brain.

                  Rabies kills animals in about 10 days. We have years of videos… It didn’t have rabies. Since lived indoors you can also reasonably prove that it couldn’t get rabies either.
