If the rest of those turned their crimes into social media hustles, the cops would have a much easier time.

I mean owning wild animals without a permit is a crime too. Dude wasn't even taking Peanut to the vet cause he, get this, didn't have a permit.
Context?
Guy had a squirrel that he cared for after it was injured and kept as a pet because when he (allegedly) tried to release the squirrel it turned up at his door sometime later injured again. (Brief recollection the story is online)
Anyway the city found out and confiscated (right word?) it because owning wild animals is illegal and euthanized it to test for rabies.
Edit: as other have pointed out, the squirell also apparently bit a police officer.
Yes, euthanization is necessary to test for rabies because rabies is freakishly good at staying under the radar until it's too late. That's why you need to keep your pets' shots up to date.
Additional context: the squirrel bit one of the officers that was confiscating it. So they absolutely needed to test for rabies.
Don't post your crimes to social media folks. Or do, I'm not a cop.
