Peanut the squirrel, a pet that became a social media star, has been euthanized after New York state authorities seized it during a raid.

Peanut's owner Mark Longo told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo that he is "appalled" that New York uses resources to kill a raccoon and squirrel.

Based on Peanut’s Instagram account, he's clearly no ordinary squirrel. He knows how to jump with precision, wears a trendy cowboy hat, and even eats waffles.
