Social media star squirrel euthanized after being taken from home tests negative for rabies

A pet squirrel who was a social media star before being seized by authorities in upstate New York has tested negative for rabies.

Peanut, the social media star squirrel at the center of a national furor after it was seized from its owner in upstate New York and euthanized, has tested negative for rabies, a county official said Tuesday.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation took the squirrel and a raccoon named Fred on Oct. 30 from Mark Longo’s home and animal sanctuary in rural Pine City, near the Pennsylvania border. The agency said it had received complaints that wildlife was being kept illegally and potentially unsafely, but officials have faced a barrage of criticism for the seizure. Government workers said they have since faced violent threats.

The DEC and the Chemung County officials have said the squirrel and raccoon were euthanized so they could be tested for rabies after Peanut bit a DEC worker involved in the investigation.

Chemung County Executive Chris Moss said tests on the two animals came back negative during a news conference detailing the county’s role in the incident. He said the county worked with the state and followed protocols.

Peanut gained tens of thousands of followers on Instagram, TikTok and other platforms in the more than seven years since Longo took him in after seeing his mother get hit by a car in New York City. Longo has said he was in the process of filing paperwork to get Peanut certified as an educational animal when he was seized.

Longo on Tuesday said the negative test results were no surprise and criticized the government’s actions.

“It’s no real big shocker to me, considering I lived with Peanut for seven-and-a-half years and Fred for five months. I’m not foaming at the mouth,” he said. “I knew the test results were going to be negative.”

The DEC said in a prepared statement there was an internal investigation and that they were reviewing internal policies and procedures.

TL;DR They executed a beloved pet and social media star for literally no reason.

So some kids at my school made a memorial to a cockroach that hasn't been cleaned up since JUNE on one of the stairwells at my college. The janitor recently (finally) cleaned it up and students are OUTRAGED that our memorial to dear Fred is gone. But I took pictures before it got cleaned up and WOOOW it was A LOT.

Like people left him little offerings? Like a full-sized granola bar, a tiny glass of beer, MONEY, a stress ball in the shape of a rainbow colored brain, A TINY JOJO SIWA DOLL? Like it was WHACK!!!!

People also left him notes! Saying cute things like, "Such a great friend! Another legend has left us!", "Never got to meet him. Heard so many great things! Wish I had known him while he was still with us.", "Will miss you Fred, hope you enjoy the trash can in the sky <3", etc. It was actually kinda sweet.

RIP FRED. You will be missed. Hope wherever you are now you are still surrounded by our offerings. ALSO THE FACT IT WASN'T CLEANED UP TILL SEPTEMBER?!? Truly, a legend.

Fred, You will be missed.

*stands by podium*

*ahem* He will always be missed. I loved Fred. He may have been a character I made up, but he had feelings! He had a life! A caring life.*sniffs* He was great friends with (Y/N). If they have something to say, please, stand up. I’m sure he would appreciate it…😔(you don’t actually have to say something btw.)
