Justice For Peanut Squirrel Shirt

Stand Against Injustice with the Justice For Peanut Squirrel Shirt – A Tribute to Peanut and Fred’s Story of Love, Loyalty, and Loss. Peanut the squirrel was more than a wild animal – he was an internet sensation, a beloved pet, and an endearing companion to digital creator Mark Longo. Sadly, Peanut’s life was tragically cut short on October 30, 2024, when he and his raccoon friend, Fred, were seized and euthanized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) following anonymous complaints about wild animal possession.

Justice For Peanut Squirrel Shirt: Wear a Statement of Love and Advocacy

To honor Peanut’s memory and stand against what many feel was an unjust act, the Justice For Peanut Squirrel Shirt was created. Featuring an illustration of Peanut wearing his iconic tiny cowboy hat, this shirt symbolizes a call for compassion, respect, and accountability. Available in tees, sweatshirts, hoodies, and a range of sizes and colors, this shirt lets supporters of Peanut and Mark Longo show their solidarity.

Peanut’s journey with Longo began seven years ago, when he was a baby squirrel with half of his tail missing from a severe attack. Peanut was unable to live in the wild, so Longo decided to give him a loving, secure home. Over the years, Peanut grew into a cheerful, sprightly squirrel whose videos entertained thousands on Instagram as he scampered through Longo’s home, playing with his favorite treats and bringing joy to his fans. However, the DEC argued that keeping Peanut violated laws against wild animal ownership, as they can carry diseases like rabies. Following a complaint, six DEC officers arrived at Longo’s home to seize Peanut and Fred, whom they euthanized shortly after due to a bite incident during the seizure.

The Justice For Peanut Squirrel Shirt serves as a visible emblem of this story, highlighting not only the affection shared between Longo and Peanut but also the larger conversation about compassionate treatment for animals. The shirt’s design, which features Peanut in a playful pose with his cowboy hat, is a heartfelt reminder of his character and the joy he brought to others. By wearing this shirt, supporters can express their call for fair treatment, advocating for improved animal welfare policies that balance public health concerns with the welfare of individual animals.

Longo, who operates the non-profit P’nuts Freedom Farm, vowed to seek legal recourse and raise awareness about Peanut and Fred’s plight. The shirt allows supporters to share their voice in a meaningful way, calling for compassionate and reasonable regulations for individuals who lovingly care for animals that cannot survive independently in the wild. In wearing the Justice For Peanut Squirrel Shirt, you’re joining a larger movement that pushes back against the loss of beloved animals due to legal technicalities and advocating for future policies that respect both human and animal rights.
