Social media star Peanut the squirrel has been killed after authorities seized him and a raccoon called Fred in a raid on their caretaker’s home.
Mark Longo said he took Peanut into his Pine City home after seeing his mother get hit by a car in New York City 10 years ago.
Since then, the squirrel has gained more than 500,000 followers on Instagram and 39,000 on TikTok.
