“Recently, online society was outraged over the unnecessary death of a pet squirrel and raccoon. Intelligent people were angry over the absurdity of ‘saving’ animals by killing them. Others said the uproar showed how far society had fallen — why would anyone care about a squirrel? … It’s not about the squirrel and raccoon. It’s about those who would steal happy, healthy pets and kill them because an arbitrary rule had been broken. It’s about those who will do anything they are told to do, no matter how obviously wrong it is, because they follow orders. It’s about the poor judgment of every government employee involved, and about the poor character of the person who ratted them out to the state.” (11/10/24)
