Maybe get some of those permits for your animals before you get them killed through negligence. Dont play chicken with the State. Dont vote for Donald Trump.

Bro what the fuck?

Nobody is actually voting trump because of this and NY did fuck up so heavily here its beyond reality.

You defend people killing animals just because _.

The reason the animals where apparently killed is stupid as hell and the people that did it need to be burned like witches for this. “Cameras went out” wow.

He had multiple warnings to get his permits. Everyone knows you keep the feds and police away from your animals if you care about them, by getting the proper permits for exotic or wild animals. I’m not saying it was right to shoot a squirrel. But what’s not right is ignoring everything and then whining after you got your own house raided and animals killed.

Is there any legitimate prove to your claims?

Also, wow still defending assholes killing animals for fun. Why would you need a fucking (expensive) permit for a small animal that isn’t much different from a hamster?

Nearly as fucked up as making viral videos with an animal and never bothering to make sure its legal before you exploit it.

Killing an animal because their owner didn’t have their papers is ridiculas. The animal shouldn’t be punished because the owner was a dumbass.

They didn’t kill him because he didn’t have a permit. They killed him because they couldn’t verify the squirrel’s health, due to the owner forgoing vet treatment and documentation, because he didn’t have a permit for the squirrel

More sympathy for squirrels than human beings

Nailed it right there. They care more about this one squirrel than the women who die from pregnancies gone wrong because doctors can’t treat them without opening themselves up to legal problems, the Haitians and Puerto Ricans who find themselves threatened and ostracized because of Trump and Vance’s words, etc.

This will not move the needle. Conservatives don’t give a teeny tiny fuck about animals. They kill animals for entertainment and brag about how heartless they are in the process.

They absolutely care about the enslavement of innocent woodland creatures for human entertainment and monetary profit. These people complain there are no elephants at the circus being beat anymore.

Now hold on. The MAGA-types may hold nothing holy, but the older conservatives did give something of a shit about animals. Nixon did give us the EPA, after all.

Nixon did not create the EPA out of benevolence. The normal (non-conservative and progressive) reps had been pushing for it for years and were gaining public opinion momentum on it. Nixon knew if he was able to create it on his own terms, it could be controlled and hamstrung. He did exactly that.

Nixon allowed conservatives and the business-class (both of whom hated the EPA) to determine how the EPA would be limited. And every conservative administration since Nixon has done the same thing, using the EPA as a tool to allow corporations to do exactly as they please while telling the public that the environment is being protected.

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation, and the EPA is an excellent example of that truism in action.

The animal that was killed by the police state using excessive force? Is Trump pro defunding the police now?

I made this exact argument. All of the sudden they’re against excessive police raids. Maybe they’ll agree that if police are using this much manpower for squirrels they may be over funded and a correction could be in order. One could argue for some sort of defunding to get police priorities back in order.

That was great info you gave.

Even if it had rabies at the time, seems seems like excessive force to treat the guy like a drug dealer or like it was the gator incident at the bottom of the article. Also not sure how Harris/Trump has any impact on this.
