Omg..wth? How good is her choice of sweatshirt the day of her arrest. The answer is, no, no you don't have freedom. You're in jail dummy.
That’s a great sweatshirt to wear for a mugshot photo haha
So they can do all this to someone for a possible raccoon rabies. Stupid waste of police work. Go find the fentanyl dealers. Would seem more of a use of police work.
Poor little raccoon. This is an evil woman people.
And for the record, the animal has to be "put down" because the lab has to use brain material to test for rabies.
So can i "put down" raccoons whenever I want and then submit the brains for testing as well? I'll assume all raccoons have rabies, just like they did in Maddock. So i guess they must all be put down just to be sure, even if they dont display symptoms. Just as in the specific case. It makes the most sense. Mass culling for testing.
For my next trick, I'll start to put down every deer I see as well, assuming it has CWD. That way, there is no question as to my real motive for senseless slaughter of animals. Its not "poaching" its just medical testing for public safety.
Just because someone has a wild animal for a pet,. it doesn't mean the animal is sick. I had a neighbor lady who rescued a batch of coon babies and tried to raise them. She said she was gonna take them to the swamp and teach them how to be coons. 😂They were docile, not rabid.
Erin shouldn't have been keeping the raccoon as a pet. It is not a domestic animal. But I see absolutely no evidence the raccoon has rabies, so they should not have euthanized it. They could have returned it to the wild. Don't assume animals have rabies just because they are not in their usual environment.
so there's no evidence of rabies
COME ON!!!
Over a raccoon!?!?!?
While they do absolutely nothing about serious crimes.
This person might have had bad judgement but certainly isn’t a criminal.
And meanwhile the Meth dealers continue business as usual.
Dumb to bring into a bar.
Also dumb for law enforcement to kill an animal that didn't bite anyone. Their original plan was to observe the animal for 10 days for rabies and release it or possibly put it in a zoo.
BCSO and NDGF are equivalent to the Gestapo for acting this way!!!
Poor raccoon.they killed him and he didn't even have rabies
