Government Overreach Run Amok: NY State Kills Peanut the Squirrel

[TedKennedy]

They were squirrel killing cops.

Just a few bad apples. Ain't that always the way....

 

[Dmc707]

So - just out of curiosity - were these good cops or bad cops?

"Real cops would never go against something unjust -- like confiscation of squirrels or firearms"

This story sickened me -- a case study for anyone who has the mistaken notion that we are "free" in this country

But I bet if that couple was caught killing a squirrel for food that bit## would have turned them in also.

Kill a million babies, thousands of people, and rob humanity of many things, and we get excited about people killing a squirrel. I think our priorities might be a little backwards.

Heartbreaking to watch that woman's tears of grief. After 7 1/5 years pets are part of your family. Heavy-handedness of government has to stop.

Totally agree. Reason has to prevail at some point.

I don’t see anyone “excited” about it. I see a lot of people (both on and off this forum) who recognize it for what it is, proof that absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is everything wrong with our society rolled into one bitter nut.

With all the things the bureaucratic state ignores or outright permits that it shouldn’t, it had 10 agents run roughshod over a couple for several hours, all so they could murder two harmless pets that meant so much to them. That’s ****ed up.

Oh, I guess you missed the thousands of people crying across multiple social media platforms about a squirrels death but the majority have not, will not, and do not raise a concern of the many atrocities against humanity in their own state. Adopt an illegal wouldve been a better program!

I try to avoid social media platforms where people routinely cry. I get enough histrionics already.
