P’nut the Squirrel, of internet fame, has been euthanized after the pet was seized by New York state earlier this week, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The seven-year-old gray rescue squirrel, commonly referred to as “P’Nut” on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, was put to death, along with Fred the raccoon, so that the animals could be tested for the presence of rabies, according to a statement from the agency obtained by WETM.
“In addition, a person involved with the investigation was bitten by the squirrel."
P’nut was rescued by guardian Mark Longo, after the Connecticut native witnessed P’Nut’s mother hit by a car.
