00:00It was an absolute honor to see, um, you know, your, your big government, you know, acknowledge

00:08what has been going on in a small town area in the middle of nowhere in New York.

00:12Um, you know, this made worldwide news and, um, you know, again, uh, congratulations to

00:19president Trump for winning the election.

00:21Um, maybe peanut had something to do with it.

00:23I don't know.

00:24Um, you know, this, this story is a tragedy and, um, you know, we do not want them to

00:29die in vain, both animals, um, I'm really hoping with, um, you know, the mainstream

00:35media and what social, the power of social media has done.

00:39Hopefully it gave enough spark for the government to actually take a look at this and hopefully

00:44make a change.

00:45So I'm, I'm, I'm praying that we're, we're going in that direction.

00:48Seeing as though, um, peanut might've played, um, you know, uh, his own role in, in the

00:54election and will kind of solidify himself in us history is, is remarkable.

00:59You know, the fact that the world came together for a raccoon and a squirrel who were taken

01:03away, uh, abruptly and kind of, um, you know, barbarically it's, um, you know, it's a great

01:09opportunity for us to make change and, and member just do a memory of, of two animals

01:15whose lives were cut short for essentially some paperwork.

01:19Um, so that's all I'm asking is, um, you know, continue to fight for the, the smaller people

01:25in, in the country.

01:26Um, you know, how many times has this happened where it didn't come to fruition like peanut

01:29and Fred, you know, you don't know.

01:32So we're hoping, you know, change can be in order, um, passing a bill in peanuts name

01:36would be an absolute honor.

01:38But at the end of the day, we just don't want anybody else to go through the pain and the

01:41suffering and the heartache, um, of what transpired on October 30th.

01:46You know, these are the people that are supposed to be protecting you, you pay taxes.

01:49So these people protect you and they come in their house, your house whenever they want

01:53and they do it, whatever it is they want to do.

01:55Um, so hopefully this opened a lot of eyes and, um, you know, some investigations need

02:00to be had.

02:01Um, you know, people need to be held accountable for what happened at my house and, you know,

02:06this cannot happen again.

02:07And that's our main, main focus is, you know, to continue to help it animals that are nonprofit,

02:12but also make sure that this event does not help it happen ever again.
