That was a shit story and that department was 100% out of line. but I don't think it was the police doing anything but helping a department with a search warrant.

At first I felt bad then I realized the guy had that squirrel for 7 years and never got a permit or anything. Bro come on how do you not get the paperwork for an animal that you make a living off.

The department wasn't out of line. You can't just take in wild animals without a permit or telling anyone. And once peanut bit the officer they had no choice. Brain tissue is the only fast way to test for rabies. It was that or risk the officer drying. I sure wouldn't take the "owner's" word and risk my life.

Anyways, peanuts owner was a shit head who got peanut killed

They were fine to take the pets but they should have been careful not to get bit. They should have informed the person before killing his pet. But you're right ultimately I don't have much sympathy for the guy since he had plenty of time to sort this out and not let it get to this point.

NOT get bit? Why didn't they think of that!?
