I’ve been wondering why MAGA would suddenly and uncharacteristically take the side that is against animal abuse, but it turns out the owner is both one of their own, with discriminatory posts all over their media feed and has been making money pretty much entirely off showcasing that squirrel instead of, yknow, what an actual nonprofit would do to improve their community.
It was tolerated for around 7 years, but the addition of a raccoon pushed things too far due to the risks involved in spreading rabies and lack of proper paperwork.
Overall a disappointing outcome, perhaps with the donations they’re getting they’ll be able to do something more productive… or just crank up the grift.
