Peanut the Squirrel: Elon Musk and RFK Jr. React to Pinata the Squirrel’s Euthanasia: “These Are the Same Guys…”

Elon Musk and RFK Jr. reacted to the euthanization of the squirrel P'Nut:

Squirrel Peanutsocial media star, was captured by the New York City government and then euthanized, sparking major outrage on social media, especially from Republican Party leaders, two days before the election. “The government should leave people and their animals alone” Elon Musk wrote on X, commenting on a post about how seven-year-old Peanut was captured and then killed.
Peanut and Fred the Raccoon were taken from Mark Longo by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, and the agency said it had received complaints that the two were being kept illegally and unsafely. State law requires people to obtain a license if they want to own a wild animal.
Longo said he never saw Peanut bite anyone, even during the raid. He also said he is working to get Peanut, also known as P’Nut or PNUT, certified as an educational animal.
“It honestly still feels surreal that the state I live in actually targeted me and took two of the most beloved animals on this planet without even quarantining them. They took them from my house and just killed them,” he said.
Longo said he began caring for P’Nut after his mother was hit by a car seven years ago. And Fred was dropped off at his doorstep a few months ago.

Donald Trump’s other assistant Robert F. Kennedy Jr.wildlife enthusiast, wrote: “Are these the same guys who killed my whale and bear? And what happened to the head? Just asked a friend.”
Several years ago, RFK Jr. cut off the head of a whale carcass on the beach near their family home in Cape Cod and then drove the whale’s head back to New York in the family minivan. The investigation into this matter began after he joined Trump’s team after leaving his own presidential race.
Kennedy Jr. also admitted to dumping a dead bear in New York’s Central Park. He said he wanted to take the dead animal home, but his schedule changed, so he decided to dump the carcass in Central Park along with an old bicycle in what looked like a cycling accident.
