The owners of Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Racoon are fighting to get the animals’ bodies back after both were controversially seized and put down following a home raid months ago.
Mark Longo shared the petitionvia IG … demanding the return of Peanut and Fred’s bodies from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, to give them a proper send-off.
Longo said he and his wife, Daniela, aren’t even sure if the bodies are still there — but they should be, since their lawyer sent a preservation notice to make sure they weren’t destroyed.
In the petition itself, he says his nonprofit rescue, P’Nuts Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary, has the right to give Peanut and Fred a proper farewell — with the same love and care they received in life.
The petition also recaps everything they’ve been through over losing Peanut and Fred — something they’ve spoken out about before, especially after their pets went viral post-death.

Daniela and Mark also broke down to TMZ a day after the raid — calling it a blatant abuse of power and a prime example of how broken the system is.
