Petition: Justice for Peanut the Pet Squirrel Unfairly Euthanized

Peanut the squirrel wasn’t just a pet — he was family. Taken in after struggling to survive in the wild, Peanut became a social media star, brightening lives across the world. But New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) seized and euthanized him without justification, devastating his family and followers.

This tragedy shows the urgent need for reform. Animals like Peanut deserve better protection, not cruelty from the very authorities meant to safeguard them.

Sign the petition now to demand a formal apology from the New York State DEC and call for immediate policy changes. Peanut’s death must not be in vain.

Let’s make sure no other innocent animal suffers like this again. Stand up for Peanut — sign the petition now and help us hold the DEC accountable.
