Social Media Uproar After Squirrel Euthanized Due to Instagram Post

Animal Rights Activists Demand Investigation

Social Media Post Sparks Controversy

A recent Instagram post has sparked outrage among animal rights activists after a squirrel was euthanized by animal control. The post, which has since been removed, showed a woman holding a squirrel by the tail.

According to animal control, the woman found the squirrel in her backyard and brought it inside. She then posted a photo of the squirrel on Instagram, asking her followers for advice on what to do.

Some followers suggested that she release the squirrel back into the wild, while others advised her to contact animal control. The woman ultimately decided to call animal control, who euthanized the squirrel.

Animal Rights Activists Demand Investigation

Animal rights activists are now demanding an investigation into the incident. They argue that the squirrel was euthanized unnecessarily and that animal control should have released it back into the wild.

The animal control officer involved in the incident has defended his decision, saying that the squirrel was sick and injured. He also said that the woman who found the squirrel did not have the proper license to care for a wild animal.

Social Media Debate Continues

The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with some people supporting the animal control officer's decision and others condemning it.

Some people argue that the squirrel was a wild animal and that it should have been released back into the wild. Others say that the squirrel was sick and injured and that euthanasia was the most humane option.

The debate is likely to continue, as more people learn about the incident and share their opinions on social media.
