@@Maspets There should be a giant Warning Label at the top of Every Ballot on election day just for people like you. "WARNING! In all recorded History, NOTHING, created by humans, has ever caused more Death and Destruction than Government. There are NO EXCEPTIONS"
@@Maspets Seems many people have pet squirrels and raccoons, animals that were rescued and that could not be released for various reasons (at least from what I have seen online). This was a gross over reach by that agency. At least from what we know at this point, there was no warning. If that proves to not be true, I will maybe change my mind. But unless negative info comes out, this should not have happened. For pete's sake, the squirrel was living with them for 7 years.

@@sbffsbrarbrr I AM an exotic pet owner as you can see by my channel and have advocated against these laws for years! Yet it is well-known in exotic pet owner circles, do not get illegal pets, they might be taken and euthanized. If my pets bite a member of the public, unless I drive them out of the state immediately, they will be destroyed. I assume responsibility for them. This guy just put them on his social media and flaunted them. He WAS warned in January, which is not even what usually happens. He lied and said he released the squirrel and continued to post them on social media.
They didn't even wait 24 hours to end those sweet babies lives. Negative results. Of course they would be negative after 7 years in a safe loving home. New York needs to pay.
No, why make the taxpayers pay? Sue the individuals personally and take the money from their own pockets. That would definitely make other bureaucrats sit up and pay attention the next time they want to trample on citizens' Constitutional and human rights.

@@helvetii42 So the DEC did nothing wrong. You don't change laws from under people when they acted appropriately. How would you feel if you got sued because someone wanted to change a law AFTER you abided by it properly?
This world is crazy when rescue, loving care is displayed, and someone out there thinks it's okay to just put down animals. How miserable are these people who can do something like this? R.I.P Peanut and Fred. Sorry for your loss.
Who the heck are you taking to? Do you know how strange it is that you’re talking to no one! Your fairytale doesn’t exist. How about living in reality! The fact that you don’t see yourself clearly, and have little to no self awareness, is evident. “Oh, look, you’re such a good person, speaking to an imaginary, invisible daddy, aren’t you so helpful and amazing” NOT! “We thank you father” oh brother, give me a break! How about thanking that worthless, father for having them euthanized? If he’s going to get credit for the good, YOU, need to give him credit for the bad! Religious people are WEIRD! You believe in nonsense!
I don't understand why it took so long for them to investigate? If peanut was such a big personality in the net...then as soon as his owner started posting they shouldve checked years ago. But it took 1 jealous selfish person to enact revenge over something as stupid as viewing numbers. That 2 innocent animals were abused and killed. So what if he has OF ? None of my bussiness. Everybody who had a hand in the dearth of peanut should be charged for animal cruelty,esp the Lady who made the false report.
Because they themselves didn't grow up in a loving household and were probably bullied in school, you ever noticed cops in general, they are short, have something to prove and were picked on in highschool. I know this for a fact because the little runts in my highschool became cops. I saw a Skamania county sheriff take money out the wallet of a passed out drunk guy that threw up in the back of the squad car, and the cop told me when I questioned him on it that it was to cover the cost of the mess. I was 9 at the time, real role model...
@@winterbabydoo9752 Not only cops but dictators as well like Francisco Franco (Hitler's ally) was bullied for being short, pudgy and fug. Some people have thought that might have been once reason for his cruelty. Spaniards call him enano son of a b or midget son of a b---
These horrible people need to be held accountable and pay for their uncomprehendable actions . Monica Keasler in Texas needs to be charged with a felony and held accountable for her ugly acts and Richard Rich Jr the judge in NY where Mark lives needs to be held accountable for why in hell he issued a search warrant , along with the DEC that were responsible for their dispicable actions to 2 innocent animals. This is the heartless world we live in, Disgusting!💔💔💔
Imagine the govt coming to your house to check your dog for no reason. The dog is scared and bites the govt official. The official then kills your dog and leaves.
That's how the government rolls Sometimes they go to the wrong house when they swat, like the tuttles in Texas. They made Swiss cheese out of the house from the outside. Killed the tuttles and their dog from outside. This happens constantly in America.
Thanks to WETM 18 News for providing updates to this sad and gut-wrenching story. A lawsuit, and the ensuing request for the production of documents, as well as FOIA requests, and numerous depositions will hopefully get to the bottom of this DEC created cess pit. Chemung County officials have already stated they are in constant communication with Sean Mahar, Commissioner of the DEC, thus suggesting to many they are circling the wagons. And in an astonishing admission, Chemung county officials stated they would do the same thing again. Explained Health Director Pete Buzzetti (dubbed "Shaggy Boy" by some observers due to his unkempt appearance) "Ten day confinement in public health law is strictly for those pets-dogs, cats, and ferrets-so it doesn't apply in this case". A county official was also heard to say "Nobody was aware of the social media presence of either one of these animals". This despite the fact the DEC previously confessed it "was investigating" Mark Longo. It would seem the truth is not an ally of either Chemung County, or the state of New York. We'll miss you Peanut and Fred.
I agree, what better target for the newly formed dept of gov efficiency, after all the bad press the DEC has gotten for this, the ppl would celebrate the closure of the DEC 🎉
The problem with any such lawsuit is once again 100% innocent TAX PAYERS will pay the bill for the actions of public SERVANTS who have no intentions of being our SERVANTS. Time to teach the SERVANTS a lesson they will never forget.
Let’s share this with EVERYONE. There’s always selective attention towards animals which is crazy. And what’s worse is that other media sources tried not to make this into a “big deal”. I think of the documentary “black fish” and we've already forgotten about it, and still go see those orcas in captivity. We need to make more of an effort for any animal that goes through such mistreatment by corrupt people in power.
It makes me sick to my stomach when I think about how the DEC came into P'Nuts home and tramatized P'Nut and Fred. Any animal would try to protect themselves. They murdered him and Fred shortly after they took him and Fred out of the home where they grew up at. It's nice to see that animal loving people from all over the world is also standing up to DEC and who reported P'Nut and Fred. I don't think death threats should be happening against the DEC and the person who got in touch with the DEC. I really hope they would theDEC is going to have to be held accountable for murdering P'Nut and Fred. I hope that justice will be found for P'Nut, Fred and the rescued animals at P'Nuts Rescue Farm. I don't live anywhere close to New York. I'm in Southern Utah. My heart goes out to the other the animals and the owners of P'Nut and Fred.
This guy he needs to win this lawsuit for every one in the United States his fight will help everyone that's in danger in the us so this will not happen to you if a house gets raded no one should worry about there pets or getting killed or having there home burns down
Gross government incompetency and overreach! Infuriating and did NOT have to happen! I'm glad something is being done to get justice for Peanut and Fred.
The DEC has cleared her name in an official record. Unfortunately I don't think that they are releasing any information of who actually made the complaint.
My Cousin used to work for the County in LI NY, inspecting properties. She went to one and a large Pit Bull came running out, unleased, and took a chunk of flesh out of her leg (turns out it was a drug house). Turns out this was the 3rd time that dog had viciously bitten someone, and off property!! How come THAT DOG wasn't euthanized after the FIRST bite to "check for rabies", or even observed for 30 days??? My Cousin had to retire as she was scared after that. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY FISHY HERE!!!!!!
How did they get those jobs? Squirrels cannot carry the rabies virus for very long as their body temperature is way too low to accommodate the virus. This was evil, spiteful and just a show of power.
It has nothing to do with Democrats.get your head out of your a**. I'm a Democrat and I think what happened to P' nut & Fred is appalling . Stop 🛑 making everything political!!!.
@@jerry5181 Peanut in at least one video was seen wearing a MAGA hat. And NY Gov. Hochul has made no secret of her hatred of Trump, even appearing with NY AG James to denounce him. Additionally, Hochul refused to comment on the Peanut raid, as did Harris. Chemung County "went red" in the presidential election, but Albany is deep blue, as are most govt. workers. But one matter of compounded fact is that dilemmas always gravitate to the industry leaders, or the party in power. This is a well known axiom of marketing. Since the Democrats are in power, the Republicans co-opted the Peanut tragedy for their own use. NB: Trump also signed legislation making animal cruelty a Federal crime, working with animal rights activists to do so. The take-away: If the Republicans were the party in power, they would receive the brunt of the blame. And that's just how the world rolls. But we'll all miss Peanut and Fred.
you know it still baffling me. Here we can have pet mice, rats, all rodents. why not squirrels? Besides yes in a living home for 7 years there is no exposures to rabies.
So good to see people now have to get on him about some other crap. Amazing, where does this align with those poor animals being KILLED. Some humans are so PATHETIC
I understand this is sad news I hope this guy gets what he wants but there's one thing that I want to say there's dogs and cats dying everyday at animal shelters that needs to change
Accountability now. Names, resignations, terminations, and accountability for everyone involved who is under the false sense that they are serving the community and using resources adequately. The NY DEC committed an atrocity.
All people including judge one filed complaint(lied) and all otheinhome invasion,destruction of property , trauma to Peanuts and Freds family. Should all be arrested for teriost acts :life in prison without parole and all they own taken away given to Fred the Eacoon and Peanut the Squirrel own(assets ,etc)
So terrible ! Im so sorry these atrocities took place! My heart cant be as broken as you & your lovely wife but i am very heartbroken .. i still cry about lil Peanut & young fred 💔🐿️🦝.!!!
I would like to see him sue the individuals personally, so that the money comes out of their own pockets. It infuriates me that the government can breach people's rights and when they lose in court, the taxpayer has to foot the bill.
No, agents are working on behalf of the Government, so the Government is responsible. What should be happening is that after the Government is sued, then the Government should sue or press charges against the agents for whatever breach of protocal/law caused the initial lawsuit, to recoup their losses.
Peanut was so lucky to have this man in his life 😍 I hear the person that made the complaint was not as popular like Peanut and Fred. Poor poor soul this human does not have a life.I hope for their karma .
Please file a lawsuit, they need to pay for what they did.
And Now Trump is in Office he will Win 100%...

I have cried so many tears over this story, and I no longer feel safe in my own country when the people who are suppose to be protecting it (including our wildlife) turn on us and treat us like terrorists. I am thoroughly disgusted with how this was handled and how it became an issue for the state of NY. I pray all the 'karens' involved are exposed. Its a public office so the records should be public. I will be praying for you, your family and your sanctuary. Many blessings.
I'm not sure how you think he will get "justice" for his own refusal to comply with the law.
@@Maspetsyour obviously a bad person
@@helvetii42 How do you get justice for breaking the law? EXPLAIN.
@Maspets you change the laws. The government is out of control.
@@helvetii42 So the DEC did nothing wrong. You don't change laws from under people when they acted appropriately. How would you feel if you got sued because someone wanted to change a law AFTER you abided by it properly?
I appreciate you continuing to cover Peanut's story ❤
I hope they pass it. This is just sad :'( R.I.P. Peanut and Fred
Justice for these two sweethearts❤❤
This world is crazy when rescue, loving care is displayed, and someone out there thinks it's okay to just put down animals. How miserable are these people who can do something like this? R.I.P Peanut and Fred. Sorry for your loss.
commies are most miserable, next to poor me drama queens
Justice for Peanut,and Fred.
That poor racoon!
And he was just a baby so I heard
We thank you father for your hand of favor and blessings over this family that they get Justice for their animals.
Who the heck are you taking to?
Do you know how strange it is that you’re talking to no one!
Your fairytale doesn’t exist.
How about living in reality!
The fact that you don’t see yourself clearly, and have little to no self awareness, is evident.
“Oh, look, you’re such a good person, speaking to an imaginary, invisible daddy, aren’t you so helpful and amazing” NOT!
“We thank you father” oh brother, give me a break!
How about thanking that worthless, father for having them euthanized?
If he’s going to get credit for the good, YOU, need to give him credit for the bad!
Religious people are WEIRD!
You believe in nonsense!
PEANUTS LAW MUST PASS!
And fred stop leaving out fred he was a victim to
@Lynn-g1i I don't think people are forgetting Fred, it's just called PNuts law.
Yup. Documentation of the bite!
Hospital records of it! This is where it’s going to unravel for the state!
Even if a bite was documented why kill the raccoon who never was accused of biting?
I don't understand why it took so long for them to investigate? If peanut was such a big personality in the net...then as soon as his owner started posting they shouldve checked years ago. But it took 1 jealous selfish person to enact revenge over something as stupid as viewing numbers. That 2 innocent animals were abused and killed. So what if he has OF ? None of my bussiness. Everybody who had a hand in the dearth of peanut should be charged for animal cruelty,esp the Lady who made the false report.
they only lived in ny for about one year. they came from ct with peanut
all they did was break up a nice home life
Because they themselves didn't grow up in a loving household and were probably bullied in school, you ever noticed cops in general, they are short, have something to prove and were picked on in highschool. I know this for a fact because the little runts in my highschool became cops. I saw a Skamania county sheriff take money out the wallet of a passed out drunk guy that threw up in the back of the squad car, and the cop told me when I questioned him on it that it was to cover the cost of the mess. I was 9 at the time, real role model...
@@winterbabydoo9752 Not only cops but dictators as well like Francisco Franco (Hitler's ally) was bullied for being short, pudgy and fug. Some people have thought that might have been once reason for his cruelty. Spaniards call him enano son of a b or midget son of a b---
@@winterbabydoo9752 I was bullied and I am not that way. But what ever.
We are all so sad 😢
should be ten days quarantine
And then RETURNED!!
@@hyzenthlay-5136 yes.
I'm so glad theycare seeking compensatory recovery!!!

. *PEANUT'S LAW !!!*

...will accomplish nothing.
And fred why does everyone keep forgetting fred was a victim to seems like he was lesser loved not cool
He looks older now because of all the stress😢My heart is broken 💔😢 Poor little animals 😢💔
He looks older because he isn’t cleaned up.
The NY State DEC should be abolished! This murder of 2 innocent animals was totally uncalled for!
❤ for Peanut!
These horrible people need to be held accountable and pay for their uncomprehendable actions . Monica Keasler in Texas needs to be charged with a felony and held accountable for her ugly acts and Richard Rich Jr the judge in NY where Mark lives needs to be held accountable for why in hell he issued a search warrant , along with the DEC that were responsible for their dispicable actions to 2 innocent animals. This is the heartless world we live in, Disgusting!💔💔💔
Monica has been cleared by the DEC-it was not her.
I hope & pray you get justice for PEANUT!?!❤😮❤
Thing is, you can get a rabies vaccine if you think you got rabies.
Like a man can be a woman because they THINK so.
Imagine the govt coming to your house to check your dog for no reason. The dog is scared and bites the govt official. The official then kills your dog and leaves.
Police do it all the time and for a lot less like barking
That's how the government rolls
Sometimes they go to the wrong house when they swat, like the tuttles in Texas. They made Swiss cheese out of the house from the outside. Killed the tuttles and their dog from outside. This happens constantly in America.
Fight fight fight!
Pnut and fred helped Trump winning now his administration when the get in office needs to return to favor
WETM, please continue your following of this story. I like your updates. I am also from a small town in NY, called Mayfield.
Sue the agents too. Then file criminal charges for malicious destruction of property? Impeach the judge.
And don't forget Chris moss he was responsible for there actual murders
They went after P'Nut because it was a soft target and an easy fishing expedition (the wife's immigration status). F these coward jerks.
I hope that through this, they are exposed for the criminal enterprise they are.
Thanks to WETM 18 News for providing updates to this sad and gut-wrenching story. A lawsuit, and the ensuing request for the production of documents, as well as FOIA requests, and numerous depositions will hopefully get to the bottom of this DEC created cess pit. Chemung County officials have already stated they are in constant communication with Sean Mahar, Commissioner of the DEC, thus suggesting to many they are circling the wagons. And in an astonishing admission, Chemung county officials stated they would do the same thing again. Explained Health Director Pete Buzzetti (dubbed "Shaggy Boy" by some observers due to his unkempt appearance) "Ten day confinement in public health law is strictly for those pets-dogs, cats, and ferrets-so it doesn't apply in this case". A county official was also heard to say "Nobody was aware of the social media presence of either one of these animals". This despite the fact the DEC previously confessed it "was investigating" Mark Longo. It would seem the truth is not an ally of either Chemung County, or the state of New York. We'll miss you Peanut and Fred.
Congress must call in the judge who signed the warrant. The people want to know why and who was involved in this state sponsored raid.
The dec needs to be shut down
I agree, what better target for the newly formed dept of gov efficiency, after all the bad press the DEC has gotten for this, the ppl would celebrate the closure of the DEC 🎉
The title had my hopes up for more into on the lawsuit. Hope you post the full Sunday broadcast here.
The problem with any such lawsuit is once again 100% innocent TAX PAYERS will pay the bill for the actions of public SERVANTS who have no intentions of being our SERVANTS. Time to teach the SERVANTS a lesson they will never forget.
If that were me, I'd sue the woman who reported me, not the dec per se, but they'd be part of that lawsuit.
What? You wouldn't sue the murderers of your children?? Those were like children to them.
@@bioold8925 It would be weird if your children were illegal.
Let’s share this with EVERYONE. There’s always selective attention towards animals which is crazy. And what’s worse is that other media sources tried not to make this into a “big deal”. I think of the documentary “black fish” and we've already forgotten about it, and still go see those orcas in captivity. We need to make more of an effort for any animal that goes through such mistreatment by corrupt people in power.
YOU GO MAN - JUSTICE FOR PEANUT FROM OHIO - 🦁
💪🙏⚖️🇺🇲🐿️🐼
You're beautiful person Mr. Longo💕💝💏. Thank you for Fighting for justice for peanut and friend and animals like them🐎🐴🐐🐹.
RIP Peanut and Fred! Justice demands these agencies be accountable for wrongful death of these animals.
It makes me sick to my stomach when I think about how the DEC came into P'Nuts home and tramatized P'Nut and Fred. Any animal would try to protect themselves. They murdered him and Fred shortly after they took him and Fred out of the home where they grew up at. It's nice to see that animal loving people from all over the world is also standing up to DEC and who reported P'Nut and Fred. I don't think death threats should be happening against the DEC and the person who got in touch with the DEC. I really hope they would theDEC is going to have to be held accountable for murdering P'Nut and Fred. I hope that justice will be found for P'Nut, Fred and the rescued animals at P'Nuts Rescue Farm. I don't live anywhere close to New York. I'm in Southern Utah. My heart goes out to the other the animals and the owners of P'Nut and Fred.
72 hours is not enough, should be 5 days or so for observation of a quarantined animal.
Sue these evil vile authorities. Justice for these innocent animals and this family! 🇨🇦
For the sake of animal preservation, keep on sueing as you are protecting the rights of people and pets everywhere. AMEN
This guy he needs to win this lawsuit for every one in the United States his fight will help everyone that's in danger in the us so this will not happen to you if a house gets raded no one should worry about there pets or getting killed or having there home burns down
Gross government incompetency and overreach! Infuriating and did NOT have to happen! I'm glad something is being done to get justice for Peanut and Fred.
Sue the hell out of them.
Then sue them again.
can we find where these "officials" live? SHould be public record
Please sue the New York departments involved, and the woman from Texas who bragged about ratting your pets out on social media...
You can commit crimes but you can’t own a squirrel
owning a squirrel is a crime
Liberal legal logic for you 🤦♂️
Peanuts Law not helping Peanuts and Fred and Family that went thru this terriost act
GET ALL THE MONEY!!!
So sad!!! I used to love seeing Peanut videos!! Sue the crap out of them!!
Please sue those horrible people who did this to peanut and Fred they deserve justice 😢😢💔 my heart is broken
The woman says she was falsely accused and that she and her children are receiving death threats. That's the world today.
The DEC has cleared her name in an official record. Unfortunately I don't think that they are releasing any information of who actually made the complaint.
My Cousin used to work for the County in LI NY, inspecting properties. She went to one and a large Pit Bull came running out, unleased, and took a chunk of flesh out of her leg (turns out it was a drug house). Turns out this was the 3rd time that dog had viciously bitten someone, and off property!! How come THAT DOG wasn't euthanized after the FIRST bite to "check for rabies", or even observed for 30 days??? My Cousin had to retire as she was scared after that. SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY FISHY HERE!!!!!!
I'm still heart broken
How did they get those jobs? Squirrels cannot carry the rabies virus for very long as their body temperature is way too low to accommodate the virus. This was evil, spiteful and just a show of power.
Peanut died from jealously and democrats
And an over zealous, incompetent agency that is drunk on power.
why are you blaming dems on this one? 🤷
@@actthree7810 Possibly because Peanut was seen wearing a MAGA hat in some videos.And govt. workers are mostly Dem's.
It has nothing to do with Democrats.get your head out of your a**. I'm a Democrat and I think what happened to P' nut & Fred is appalling . Stop 🛑 making everything political!!!.
@@jerry5181 Peanut in at least one video was seen wearing a MAGA hat. And NY Gov. Hochul has made no secret of her hatred of Trump, even appearing with NY AG James to denounce him. Additionally, Hochul refused to comment on the Peanut raid, as did Harris. Chemung County "went red" in the presidential election, but Albany is deep blue, as are most govt. workers. But one matter of compounded fact is that dilemmas always gravitate to the industry leaders, or the party in power. This is a well known axiom of marketing. Since the Democrats are in power, the Republicans co-opted the Peanut tragedy for their own use. NB: Trump also signed legislation making animal cruelty a Federal crime, working with animal rights activists to do so. The take-away: If the Republicans were the party in power, they would receive the brunt of the blame. And that's just how the world rolls. But we'll all miss Peanut and Fred.
you know it still baffling me. Here we can have pet mice, rats, all rodents. why not squirrels? Besides yes in a living home for 7 years there is no exposures to rabies.
Animal lovers all around the world will help pay for the lawsuit if need be. THESE CRIMINALS WILL GO DOWN.
This was so wrong.
Peanut went out like a badass, biting one of the government goons.
So good to see people now have to get on him about some other crap. Amazing, where does this align with those poor animals being KILLED. Some humans are so PATHETIC
File lawsuit for peanut and fred! 😢
I understand this is sad news I hope this guy gets what he wants but there's one thing that I want to say there's dogs and cats dying everyday at animal shelters that needs to change
We need to tell the government what to do, not the other way around.
Accountability now. Names, resignations, terminations, and accountability for everyone involved who is under the false sense that they are serving the community and using resources adequately. The NY DEC committed an atrocity.
All people including judge one filed complaint(lied) and all otheinhome invasion,destruction of property , trauma to Peanuts and Freds family. Should all be arrested for teriost acts :life in prison without parole and all they own taken away given to Fred the Eacoon and Peanut the Squirrel own(assets ,etc)
So terrible ! Im so sorry these atrocities took place! My heart cant be as broken as you & your lovely wife but i am very heartbroken .. i still cry about lil Peanut & young fred 💔🐿️🦝.!!!
Has PETA taken the rest of the year off???
I would like to see him sue the individuals personally, so that the money comes out of their own pockets. It infuriates me that the government can breach people's rights and when they lose in court, the taxpayer has to foot the bill.
No, agents are working on behalf of the Government, so the Government is responsible. What should be happening is that after the Government is sued, then the Government should sue or press charges against the agents for whatever breach of protocal/law caused the initial lawsuit, to recoup their losses.
Silver lining…
Peanut made America the freedom farm for many years to come. In our darkest hour he gave us a uniting banner to hold up
This breaks my heart
Peanut was so lucky to have this man in his life 😍 I hear the person that made the complaint was not as popular like Peanut and Fred. Poor poor soul this human does not have a life.I hope for their karma .
Actually, as humans we are so blessed and lucky to have these animals in our lives and for the government to murder them is beyond cruel and evil.
The crime was getting Swatted by someone in Texas... that's absolutely absurd and disgusting !
