The squirrel was killed for spite.

I have little doubt that this whole kerfuffle is politically motivated Peanut's owners have said they're not political.

But, as a cudgel to represent overreach of government by petty tyrants, it's a pretty good tool.

Also, Peanut's owner have moved to file suit. No idea what the basis is, but, it'll be fun to watch it play out.

On an unrelated note, our second bird, a Blue-Front Amazon, was named "Peanuts."

A-fucking-men

I don’t get the raccoon at all…

I think they most likely mistook it for the moose that has been, for quite a few years now, closely associated with the squirrel.

Long post - click to expand.

Turns out Ms Keasler lives in Texas. She filed the complaint from there.

The tweet misspelled her first name, should have been "Karen."

Does this story have electoral legs?

[Mik]

As an example of overbearing government? Certainly.

Who does it help when both candidates are pro big government and believe government can/should solve everything?

The still-working-for-the-Washington-Post "Brava" lady seems to think so.

Drunk tweeting?

How the hell is this turning into a MAGA thing? Did the owners post something pro-Trump? I thought their social media was just cute squirrel and raccoon memes?

Rubin's probably been scouring the interwebz for MAGA squirrels.

All that money for AI and this is what we do with it.

That's all it's good for.

Euthanised just before election day. I see a conspiracy theory or two and a Netflix documentary coming in the not too distant future.

Who would win in a fight between Kristi Noem's dog, Donald Trump's squirrel and Larry, the 10 Downing Street pussy?

Here is an illustration of the difference between AI and UI.

She's a squirrel vampire.

Wasnt it this governor who said, a few years ago, that Trump supporters are not welcome in New York State?

[Horace]

Not sure what she's ever said, but I know Pelosi considers her a charisma vacuum and a political loser. I don't know who she beat for the governorship, but they must have been garbage.
