Beloved internet sensation Peanut the squirrel euthanised by NY authorities

Comedian Alex Stein blasts the “government overreach” after authorities raided a New York couple's home to euthanise their pet squirrel, Peanut, and racoon, Fred. A New York couple who took in and raised the animals had them seized by US authorities and euthanised. According to the state, possession of the animals was illegal and they had to be euthanised to test for rabies. “This is just government overreach,” Mr Stein told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “When something like that happens, it’s hard to still love this country.”
