The owners of the social media sensation Peanut the squirrel and a pet raccoon named Fred, who were “executed” after they were seized by New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation, are suing the state, claiming their rights were violated.
Mark Longo, the squirrel’s owner, provided WETM at Syracuse with a copy of his notice of claim, which must be filed before a lawsuit, seeking damages from the DEC and other local agencies.
