New York is at the center of a heated controversy after the state allegedly executed “P’Nut,” widely regarded as the world’s most famous squirrel. The beloved animal, adored by millions online for its playful antics and viral videos, was reportedly put down under disputed circumstances.
P’Nut’s owners have filed a lawsuit demanding $10 million in damages, claiming the act was unlawful and caused emotional distress. The incident has sparked outrage among animal lovers worldwide, with many calling for stricter protections for celebrity animals.
State officials have not released full details on the reasons behind the execution, but critics argue the decision was unnecessary and poorly justified. Social media has erupted with hashtags like #JusticeForPNut and #SaveOurWildlife, as supporters rally behind the cause.
The case is expected to draw significant public and media attention in the coming weeks, potentially setting a precedent for the treatment of high-profile animals under U.S. law.
