    I’m not arguing with you about city laws regarding keeping wild animals as pets. Its dangerous and requires special permits for a reason and it has more to do with protecting the animals than you think.

    Edit: and whose to say the person that shot the squirrel did it for fun? What if they have deep regrets? Can you prove he was killed for fun?

      Nobody shot the squirrel. It was taken away and euthanized to check for rabies. Which is kind of dumb, since not a single case of rabies ever has come from a squirrel in the US.

        Its super dumb because rabies kill a animal within 2 weeks and the animal in question lived in the house for two years. Rabies also don’t just come out of nowhere.

      I’m not arguing “City laws” I’m asking you to prove your shit.

      And yes I can prove it was killed for fun and to hurt the owner. “Camera went out” they came there and took someones domestic animals while there are waaaay bigger problems with wild animals they don’t do shit about. They knew it didn’t have rabies, a fucking google search can show how it didn’t have it. They complained that a animal was not amused about intruders wanting to capture it.

      This shit show office doesn’t know shit about animals when they behave like that and permits for a fucking squirrel don’t protect anyone or anything. It would be different for large, dangerous or endangered species, but a squirrel is small, lives near humans anyway and they aren’t endangered at all, especially since both killed animals where rescues and squirrels are intelligent enough to seek help of humans https://www.four-paws.org/our-stories/publications-guides/squirrel-in-need

      You support people killing animals for fun. Because when there is no need to do something and you still do it, its because you want to and its fun for you.

        I dont support that but OK. Permits exist to protect animals from people but go off and accuse me. Remember, regulations are written in blood. Love how my comment gets removed for not being civil but its chill for you to call me an animal abuser lmao
