Why are people politicizing Peanut the Squirrel
Can't we mourn the loss of a furry friend without bringing up immigration? I have lost so much faith in humanity. Nothing is pure and sacred anymore.

Just to be clear here, nothing has ever been pure or sacred. We're only told that as children.
You take that back, Peanut was pure and sacred!
I refuse. You're not my real mom!
Is...Is that a quote from a movie or something?
I think its more a comment about having the police resources to go kill some guys squirrel but not deal with other shit. But at the end of the day its one squirrel the Superbowl kills 4billion chickens just for wings.
Superb Owls kill squirrels too. Not just chickens.
Is it bad that I can't tell whether 4 billion chickens is an exaggeration?
https://www.nationalchickencouncil.org/americans-to-eat-1-45-billion-chicken-wings-for-the-big-game/
according to the National chicken council (glad I get to say that), that isn't exaggeration.
Americans are eating 1.4 billion wings, and there are a few hundred million people all making individual grocery decisions; there's not some big super Bowl robot that goes around murdering chickens, regardless of how cool an episode of Aqua teen hunger Force that would be.
The fucking national chicken council. Whats the council president called? chief cock?
Walkiest Cock
Americans generally eat excessive amounts of meat.
Bacon is not meat.
Bacon is pure glory.
But I can see how you would make that mistake.
I mean, I did not want to use mean words, hence why I said Americans. But after today I guess I don't have to be nice anymore. Fucking greasy lards!
Should I respond to this with a your mom joke? I feel like your post might need a your mom joke.
I feel so sad for that guy and his squirrel and raccoon friends.
Honestly I feel bad for the poor animals. But the guy? For 7 full years he couldn't be bothered to get the proper paperwork and licenses to own them? Didn't get them properly vaccinated and/or treated due to no paperwork. If he'd done right, this wouldn't have happened. But he's playing the victim when he's got the most blame on his shoulders.
Right there with you.
Some people are so empty they need crap like politics or reality TV to feel something.
And then there's the truly sad bunch that can't live without social media.
For those that missed... Yes I'm joking
I thought peanut the squirrel was political from the getgo. Granted the first I heard of his killing was from alt right pro cop propaganda (ironically) I did hear his owner was also vocally alt right and dressed the squirrel in some costumes that supported some of his views.I could be wrong, do correct me if soedit: I was wrong. alt right was unrelated, unless the lady that called was actually mad the owner said "Trans Rights" and kiwifarmsed the squirrel
I heard about it from penguinz0. He made a video about it. It was a sad story. He's definitly not alt right. He got shit on by the right for saying trans kids should be able to transition.
ok I just saw the cr1t1kaL video and did mroe research and it was the other way around? alt right fucks were upset about a homoerotic gent having a viral pet squirrel? but then championed the most evil cop event into a pro cop movement? this makes less sense every waking hour
