That was a shit story and that department was 100% out of line. but I don't think it was the police doing anything but helping a department with a search warrant.
At first I felt bad then I realized the guy had that squirrel for 7 years and never got a permit or anything. Bro come on how do you not get the paperwork for an animal that you make a living off.
The question is why you need a permit in the first place for a animal that lives close to humans anyway, the raccoon thing I was made aware of is another story but would also have been better handled with talking to him.
Its an adopted wild animal it needs to be registered and vaccinated that makes sense to me. But yeah it's insane how poorly they treated the situation. Idk how they can justify the process.
Yeah the vaccination part is fine, the registration is questionable but OK and whatever they did was beyond stupid.
I don't think the registration requirement is questionable. If the city needs to check for a gas or water main or sewage leak they're going to want to know if they're going to run into any wild animals. Also, if they're not registered, how will they check with your vet to make sure ongoing/regular vaccinations are given (if/when required).
