A couple of side lights. He stated they didn't have a warrant. They did. Also he said he was in the process of filling out the paper work to get the animal certified as a teaching animal. Whatever that is.
Many states allow licensed rescuers (which he was) to keep animals that can't be released back into the wild for whatever reason (like not knowing how to squirrel) to be kept and used for "educational purposes", basically as a prop to a "show and tell".
thank you. Guess they couldn't wait until he got the license. Supposedly he had an "only fans" type page with his wife and was earning a lot of $$$$ per month so I wonder if that had something to do with it. Hope he sues
My response to that situation would have been extreme. You want to come in my home and take a member of my family (we consider our pets family)? I don't care if you have a warrant, you're going to have to kill me while I exercise my 2nd Amendment rights to stop you. If I'd committed a serious crime, I'd deserve what's coming and wouldn't fight, but if you're going to murder my family over a bureaucratic, useless and hypocritical regulation, I'll go down over that - hard and hopefully, take them with me. I get my response would be extreme and I certainly wouldn't expect the Longos or anyone else to make the same choice, but the administrative state needs to understand they'll eventually run up against someone like me and people are going to die over bureaucratic red tape.

He's hired a lawyer and is crowdfunding the legal fees.

Good. My guess is they'll claim limited or sovereign immunity but he should give it a try.
For the sake of accuracy, the squirrel's name was P'Nut, not Peanut.
