He had multiple warnings to get his permits. Everyone knows you keep the feds and police away from your animals if you care about them, by getting the proper permits for exotic or wild animals. I'm not saying it was right to shoot a squirrel. But what's not right is ignoring everything and then whining after you got your own house raided and animals killed.
Is there any legitimate prove to your claims?
Also, wow still defending assholes killing animals for fun. Why would you need a fucking (expensive) permit for a small animal that isn't much different from a hamster?
I'm not arguing with you about city laws regarding keeping wild animals as pets. Its dangerous and requires special permits for a reason and it has more to do with protecting the animals than you think.
Edit: and whose to say the person that shot the squirrel did it for fun? What if they have deep regrets? Can you prove he was killed for fun?
Nobody shot the squirrel. It was taken away and euthanized to check for rabies. Which is kind of dumb, since not a single case of rabies ever has come from a squirrel in the US.
Its super dumb because rabies kill a animal within 2 weeks and the animal in question lived in the house for two years. Rabies also don't just come out of nowhere.
