    If it was leftist tyranny, we would all get equal access to pet squirrels if we want them or not.

    Fascism is denying squirrels to those who want them because the state has decided you can not have a squirrel.

      The thing is that this looks like fascism, but for a different reason. The place that got their animals taken away was a legally licensed, insured, and recognized wildlife sanctuary, and the reason given was “we need to test them for rabies” despite the animals showing no signs of rabies infection, nor any incident occurring which would require those tests.

      The whole thing reeks of some sort of petty local dispute with the PD.

        Was licensed as a domestic shelter, wildlife is a separate license. He never registered the squirrel. He released it once and it came back with a broken tail and he didn’t take it to a vet and then he kept it for 7y and used it for online performances to get money.

        Just like always headlines twist the narrative and no one looks at facts.
