Peanut the squirrel was living a charmed life as the pet of a man who adored him. Peanut had become somewhat of an internet sensation, and nosy awful people on the internet reported the owner for having Peanut. The rest is a very sad outcome.

Obviously, the good people of the internet were outraged and started memeing in his honor.

Everyone is so creative.

As if New York doesn't have any other problem to address. 

Peanut trusted the wrong people.

This may have gone too far.

This would never happen under a Trump administration. 

When were you radicalized? The day I learned about Peanut.

This is why the 2A is so important.

Peanut is with Harambe now.

His last act was saving the world. Rest easy, King.
