A Nebraska Woman’s Trip To The Groomer Gone Horribly Wrong and What She Believes Can Prevent Tragies

A trip to the groomer that went horribly wrong.  Imagine taking your four-legged family member to the groomer and it would be the last time you saw your baby.

It happened to a Lincoln, Nebraska woman, Michelle Saathoff, who took her 4-legged family member, Nala, to the same groomer, Canine Design of Lincoln, Nebraska, for 12 years.

The case is now over and the groomer was charged with animal neglect. Meantime, @michellesatthoff wants others to learn from her experience. She has a message for anyone and everyone who takes their animals to be groomed.

COMING UP LATER TODAY. A grooming session that went horribly wrong.

A Lincoln, Nebraska woman “trusted” her groomer for 12 years. 12 years! That is, until that one day that changed her life forever.

Since that day, she continues to grieve though someone new has come into her life and wait until you see who that is.

But now, she wants justice for her pup. She tells us what she believes could have prevented her tragedy and could prevent others, as well.

Mental Health: Coping with The Loss of Peanut the Squirrel and Moving Forward After the Election

I had an incredible conversation with Dr. Susan Kane-Ronning, a psychologist who specializes in children, families, and trauma. She’s also a devoted wildlife advocate. Together, we discussed ways to cope with the loss of Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Raccoon. So many people came to love and care about these animals, and losing them feels like losing a part of our family.

Dr. Kane-Ronning shared insights on handling these emotions, reminding us that it’s natural to grieve, even for animals we may have never met but came to love. She emphasized the importance of honoring the connection we had with Peanut and Fred and letting that love inspire us to continue helping animals in need. 💚

We also touched on the toll the 2024 election cycle has taken on our mental well-being. With the constant news cycle and divided opinions, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Dr. Kane-Ronning’s advice? Focus on self-care, step back when needed, and remember the value of community and compassion.

Let’s take her words to heart, honoring the animals we’ve lost and supporting each other through these challenging times. Together, we can find strength and healing. 🐾💪💙

Animals Rescued Off Of Peanut’s Freedom Farm Long Before DEC Raided The House

PROOF? Here you go. This is a preview to tomorrow’s story. I want you to meet Dancer. Mark and Daniela Longo of Peanuts Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary Inc. “rescued” her from Rising Starr Horse Rescue – a legitimate rescue organization who believed that Mark and Daniela would successfully rehab Dancer. Sadly, a few months later, Rising Star had to go back and essentially repossess, if you will, Dancer because she deteriorated so much both mentally and physically while at the freedom farm. Then I show you what a real rescue did and how wonderful Dancer looks today. Tomorrow, you’ll hear from Rising Hearts and her message.

DEC: Was Euthanizing Peanut The Squirrel and Fred The Raccoon About Rabbies Or Something More?

WAS IT REALLY ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF RABIES?

In a case drawing criticism from around the world, Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccon, were euthanized by New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) after being seized from Mark and Daniela Longo, who did not have the necessary permits to keep the animals. According to the DEC, one of its officers was bitten during the seizure, prompting the need to test the squirrels for rabies—a test that required euthanization.

However, public health experts and wildlife professionals point to data showing that squirrels have an extremely low risk of carrying or transmitting rabies. Nationally, of approximately 30,000 squirrels tested for rabies, only nine cases have ever returned positive. Additionally, the CDC reports no recorded instance of squirrel-to-human rabies transmission in the U.S. The DEC could have opted for a 10-day isolation period to observe the animals for symptoms, as rabies protocols typically allow this option for non-aggressive animals.

Raccoon rabies cases also sparked debate in this case. While raccoons are known rabies carriers, particularly in the eastern U.S., the CDC clarifies that raccoon-to-human transmission is uncommon, with most U.S. rabies cases resulting from bat exposure rather than raccoons.
Sources familiar with the situation, including national wildlife rehabilitators, claim that DEC officers involved acknowledged the euthanization was a contentious decision. Several of these sources suggest the agency’s decision was influenced by the Longos’ lack of proper permits, after allegedly issuing them multiple warnings. The DEC reports receiving 25 complaints related to the Longos’ handling of wildlife.

While the DEC has not held a press conference or responded to repeated email inquiries for clarification, wildlife rehabilitators say the case underscores the strict regulations on wildlife handling, especially concerning rabies vector species like raccoons. Transporting such species across state lines is particularly sensitive, as New York enforces some of the strictest wildlife control measures nationwide.
The Longos were reportedly offered assistance by experienced wildlife rehabilitators, who expressed willingness to take in Peanut and Fred and ensure their care complied with state regulations. Despite these offers, sources say, the Longos declined, asserting they could manage the animals on their own.
The DEC has not yet provided additional information on the decision or responded to requests for greater transparency.

Remembering Peanut The Squirrel and His Almonds

Mark Longo told the New York Post how almonds were everywhere in his house because Peanut the Squirrel loved them so much. It was one more reminder, he says, of moving on with his animal sanctuary so Peanut and Fred didn’t die in vain. #peanut #peanutthesquirrel #dec #Fredtheraccoon #wildlife #wildliferehab
