Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Dude used the squirrel to make viral videos, now that his money stream is gone because he never bothered to get permits for the poor squirrel he's blaming the state of New York. The raid wouldnt have happened if he got permits and if some other Rubepublican in Texas wasn't screeching about him not having it. This is one massive Ruth Goldberg footgun and the only victim here are the rescue animals he kept as pets.

not to mention the squirrel got injured to the point it's bone was sticking out of its tail and the guy didn't take it to the vet because they wouldn't let him keep it as a pet.

When everyone else leaves out essential details...

They knew it they needed a license, they knew it needed care, but they didn't take care of it or make any effort to make it legal because...they didn't want to lose their upload momentum?

I'm still here for this comment, but it's Rube Goldberg.
