I believe another option, in the case of an animal bite, is to confine the animal for 21 days to see if it develops symptoms or dies of rabies. If it does, the victim of the bite needs to get rabies shots. Naturally, this method presupposes that the government agency’s primary motivation wasn’t to seize and kill somebody’s pets. | |||

Seems to me if it's porn they were after, the FBI should have been there. Who knows though, The Man stepped in it, and there's a lot of bullshit being tossed around to make this seem like it was something other than a jerkoff powertrip by bullies who don't like being told "no".

Pretty disgusting abuse of power. As an owner of a pest control business for 30 years, I have had many, many interactions with the NYSDEC. They are getting excoriated here, and rightly so. That would not have ended well for me. I can be irrational when it comes to my pets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

We had a case locally of some sexual material posted online involving a dog. County animal control worked it. And no, they didn't euthanize the dog. And arfmel is also correct...typically in the case of an animal bite with no documented rabies vaccine we quarantine the animal for 10 days for observation to determine if the person needs to get shots. But that's typically dogs and cats...wild animals would be more of a challenge to contain. Not saying that's what's going on here...just that it sounds like we need a lot more details to put together the whole story. It's entirely possible these folks are innocent, caring people being abused by an overzealous government agency. Or they could be molesting little woodland creatures. The truth is probably somewhere in between. | |||

A) There’s part of me which thinks they mentioned the only fans to try to capitalize on the publicity. Not sure, but I suspect if they were doing anything near the line, OF would kick them off. (Had a limited, professional, interaction with porn sites, to get some illegal content removed. They were very accommodating, very aggressive about removing it, and far more interested in supporting prosecution than the local FBI.) B) Destroying domesticated game/fur bearers might be fairly normal - though both raccoons and squirrels are fairly common rural pets, especially if they bite someone. C) This was a complete waste of resources, unless it was a “we can get a warrant for the squirrel, and maybe while we are in there, we can see some evidence of Major Felony in plain sight.” That happens all the time. I’m sure the squirrel didn’t deserve it, but I just don’t see bureaucrats being motivated to do much over a squirrel. | |||

That's fine if the animal in question may have been bitten by a rabid animal, but hasn't itself bitten a human. If you were to wait that long, the human would be past the date that shots would save them. FWIW, squirrels almost never get rabies. The theory is that because they are a small animal, an attack by another rabid animal usually results in their death from the attack, not the disease. Since this squirrel was an indoor pet, it's even more unlikely to have had rabies. I suspect they did that mostly as another way to get back at the owner. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

A squirrel with rabies is extremely rare as mentioned. No human has ever gotten rabies from a squirrel in the US. (I was bitten by one of the fuzzy rodents once. He fell down my chimney and got myself bit extracting him from my bedsheets. I did not get rabies. Did not even see the need to get tested, much less have anything euthanized. They do bite hard, btw, probably due to their nut-busting capabilities.) And why did they kill both of them? Did they both bite someone? | |||

Ten days, not 21. My bad. The point remains, though, that there was NO NEED to kill the squirrel to check it for rabies. They had another motive. “The local rabies control authority needs to have any biting dog, cat, or domestic ferret tested for rabies or observed for ten days. If the quarantined dog, cat, or domestic ferret is alive ten days after the bite, it could not have given you rabies. If the animal shows signs of rabies or dies during the observation period, it must be tested for rabies. Biting skunks, bats, foxes, coyotes, and raccoons must be tested for rabies. If bitten by another kind of animal, the local rabies control authority will decide if it needs to be tested or observed for rabies.” https://www.dshs.texas.gov/not...nd-conditions/rabies | |||

I'm quite sure we will get a press announcement of the results of the rabies test within a few days (NOT!) Right after the results of the investigation into the Whitehouse cocaine. | |||

Just one more example of the nonsense in the People's Republic of New York. The group of liberal malcontents running that state will never figure out why their subjects have been leaving the state in droves over the past few decades. | |||

Me too. If they had brought that warrant to us to serve, we'd probably had a "closed door session" with them. | |||

Objectively Reasonable |
Agree. I'm a Search and Seizure nerd, and a past master at writing warrants that made other agencies ask "Wait, you can actually charge somebody with this?" We generally used it as an Al Capone-style pressure point (yeah, we have PC for a boring white collar but still criminal Equity Skimming violation, but we expect to find WAY more serious stuff if we can crack the safe open, etc.) Nowhere in an Alice in Wonderland-style alternate reality could even I turn a misdemeanor game violation into a protracted search of people's literal laundry, followed by euthanizing the object of my search. I suspect that if I tried, my boss would've Darth Vader-style air choked me for wasting resources. If dragged other agencies into that cluster, he would've had to stand in line to do it. | |||

I don't know what to say about this, but what are the odds that the ghost of Peanut the squirrel just ran across Kamala's "concession speech" stage at Howard University? https://x.com/BobFreshenstein/.../1854272572826726453 https://www.thegatewaypundit.c...tted-running-across/ | |||
