Aww, he should have been able to keep it, the squirrel will probably die once it's taken away from the life it has always led.

 He wasn't given the chance The squirrel and the racoon have been euthanized..

 Cruel bastards.

The squirrel was so happy, it was obvious it was loved and no threat to anyone's health.

While it was dumb to put down either animal, I'm more concerned that the authorities used tax payer money to conduct a raid on a citizens house, tear it up, make the citizen sit in their bathroom for hours, while they conducted the search.

Game wardens in the US have probably more power than any law enforcement officer, but this is ridiculous..

 The mother had been run over and killed, so they took the baby home, then tried to reinstate it into the wild but it wouldn't go.  So they had no choice but to keep it.

 I meant left alone by the Game Wardens.

 

I get it, we can't have people just running around  adopting wild animals. And, people have anthropomorphised animals to the detriment of wild animals, but what could have happened is they could have helped these rehabbers get the proper documentation and possibly pay a small fine that would go towards wildlife in the state of New York.

 

The fact that actual people were detained (deprived of their liberty), in their own home is still what really irritates me..
