When people complain about how much they must spend in taxes, big government Democrats often mock them. Who, then, is going to fix the roads? Or keep schools running? Or launch SWAT team raids to detain and execute people’s pet squirrels?

That last one is what your tax money helps fund if you are a New Yorker, at least. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently launched a raid to capture the pet squirrel and pet raccoon of one New York family. According to the owner of Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Raccoon, 10 New York government agents raided his home for five hours and interrogated his wife about her immigration status, all to find out what other illegal animal pets he was suspected of hiding.
