Devil's advocate. The "owner" of peanut was taking in wild animals without permits. Never bothered to even try.. They find peanut who bites an officer. Now that officer can just take this weird dude's word that peanut is not rabid, or he can wait till he's symptomatic, at which point he's dead. The only fast way to test for rabies is with brain tissue. It was either kill peanut or risk the officer drying of rabies.

Blame it all on the people who took in a wild animal without telling anyone and then exploited him for views

Don't they usually just administer the rabies vaccine anyways just in case? As I understand it, even with the testing they'll give the first dose because there can be bad effects if they wait for the test results before then.

Is the rabies vaccine still extremely painful and consisting of like 30 shots? Or is that outdated?

The squirrel was gonna die no matter what. It couldn't be sent back to the idiot taking wild animals and running an unlicensed online zoo. And it couldn't be returned to the wild. And it had already shown signs of aggression, so it probably wouldn't be accepted by a zoo.

My cousin had one a few years back and said it was very painful. He didn't end up needing more than one shot because the bat that got him tested negative, so I'm not sure how many doses it was in total.
