Peanut, the beloved squirrel with a massive online following, was euthanized by New York authorities after being seized from his caretaker’s home. The decision was made due to concerns about potential rabies exposure after an anonymous complaint and a bite incident. The internet mourns the loss of Peanut, while raising questions about animal welfare and rabies protocol.
The infamous ‘rat hole’ imprint on a Chicago sidewalk has been removed by city officials after it was deemed damaged and in need of replacement. The imprint, which some residents believed was actually caused by a squirrel, had become a local landmark and a source of amusement for visitors, but also a nuisance for neighbors due to excessive crowds and littering. The removal comes after months of complaints from residents and concerns about uneven sidewalk conditions.
