Squirrel who became social media star was euthanized after being seized by NY state officials

Peanut, a popular orphaned squirrel and social media star, was euthanized after state authorities seized him during a raid on his caretaker Mark Longo’s home in Pine City, New York.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) took Peanut and a raccoon named Fred due to concerns over potential rabies exposure after a person was bitten by the squirrel.

Longo, who runs an animal sanctuary, found Peanut after his mother was killed in a car accident.

Peanut had gained a large following on social media, showcasing his playful antics, the Associated Press has reported.
