<p>Democrat-led New York State came under fire Saturday following the state killing of beloved social media sensation Peanut the Squirrel, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/internet-sensation-peanut-the-squirrel-euthanized-by-new-york-state-government?topStoryPosition=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire reported</a>. And while Peanut’s death may be shocking, it shouldn’t be surprising — Democrats have a history of animal cruelty.</p>
<p>In 2022, Capitol Police euthanized a wild fox affectionately — though unoriginally — nicknamed “Capitol Fox.” The Capitol Fox quickly became a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/05/us/politics/fox-capitol-hill.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">viral sensation</a>, with reporters jostling for a sight of the vixen, and even asking Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) if he had seen the creature.</p>
<p>But after the Capitol Fox allegedly attacked Democrat Rep. Ami Bera (CA) and POLITICO reporter Ximena Bustillo, Capitol Police <a href="https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/health-officials-murder-fox-who-allegedly-bit-democrat-journalist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed</a> the fox along with her three children. After the alleged “incident,” Bera <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/06/us/politics/capitol-hill-fox.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared a photo</a> of himself smiling and holding up a picture of the fox, and expressed his wishes that the fox “and its family are safely relocated and wishing it a happy and prosperous future.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I feel healthy and am glad to be back at work.</p>
<p>Despite the dustup, I hold no grudge or ill will against <a href="https://twitter.com/thecapitolfox?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@thecapitolfox</a>. Hoping the 🦊 and its family are safely relocated and wishing it a happy and prosperous future. <a href="https://t.co/ys9aifa2MN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/ys9aifa2MN</a></p>
<p>— Ami Bera, M.D. (@RepBera) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepBera/status/1511723347025055753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 6, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>As of this writing, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has not commented on Peanut’s untimely demise. But she is not the first New York Democrat on whose watch harm has befallen famous creatures.</p>
<p>In 2014, then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio infamously <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/15/bill-de-blasio-regrets-groundhog-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropped</a> Charlotte the Groundhog at a Groundhog Day ceremony in the city. Asked by The Guardian about the incident years later, de Blasio <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/15/bill-de-blasio-regrets-groundhog-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempted</a> to pass the buck.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Everyone acting like it&#8217;s a mystery where the duck is when we all damn well know. That 9 ft tall monstrosity de Blasio cracked its neck and spiked it on the ground the same way he did to the groundhog.</p>
<p><a href="https://t.co/WLxdFjC6Lu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/WLxdFjC6Lu</a></p>
<p>— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) <a href="https://twitter.com/ComfortablySmug/status/1060525896661172224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">November 8, 2018</a></p></blockquote>
<p>“It was idiocy. Why would you want an elected official to hold a groundhog?” de Blasio said. “I don’t know anything about holding groundhogs. So the whole thing is just insane.”</p>
<p>Nor are elected Democrats the only people on the Left with poor animal track records. Activist Sean King spent over $40,000 of donor funds to purchase a thoroughbred guard dog, the Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/blm-activist-vows-revenge-after-free-beacon-report-on-his-40k-show-dog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, only to return the dog to the breeder.</p>
