P’Nut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon, two animals seized in a controversial raid by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), have tested negative for rabies after being euthanised. The animals’ owner, Mark Longo, expressed shock over the quick action taken by the DEC, pointing out that the animals had been under his care for years. The euthanisation followed a bite incident involving P’Nut during the raid, prompting rabies testing. Longo, who plans to pursue legal action, criticised the government’s response, calling it excessive and rushed. Local officials defended the actions, citing public health protocols and expressing regret over the outcome.
