"The death of the Instagram-famous pet "Peanut the Squirrel" is inspiring new legislation in New York. A new bill called "Peanut's Law" would require a 72-hour waiting period before animals from animal sanctuaries are euthanized. Peanut was taken from his owner Mark Longo in October 2024 after the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said it received complaints of wildlife being kept illegally. Peanut was later euthanized in order to test for rabies. The tests came back negative. #fyp #newyork #peanutthesquirrel #animals #animalsoftiktok"
