That's crazy.

A backcountry man whose beloved squirrel was cruelly killed by the state says he was treated like a “terrorist” when 10 government agents raided his home during a five-hour raid.

Mark Longo, whose pet Peanut captured the hearts of 3 million social media users, was stunned when a convoy of vehicles carrying officials from the state Departments of Environmental Protection and Health arrived at his Pine City home on Wednesday.

They handed him a surprise warrant that allowed them to kidnap Peanut the squirrel and Fred, a raccoon he had taken in.

“They treated me like I was a terrorist. They treated this raid like I was a drug dealer. They searched my house for five hours,” Longo told The Post on Saturday.

“They asked my wife, who is of German descent, about her immigration status. They asked if I had cameras in my house. They wouldn’t allow me to go to the toilet without a police escort, who would then check the back of the toilet to see if I was hiding anything there.”

But what was worse, they brought his gray fur baby to his death.

The state claimed it had to euthanize both animals on Friday so they could be tested for rabies – because the squirrel sank its teeth into an officer's hand during the disturbing raid.

Longo, 34, cared for “P'Nut” for more than seven years and rescued him when his mother was hit by a car.

“We rehabilitated him for eight months, we released him for a day and a half, but in the end he was attacked. He never developed the instinct to survive outside,” Longo told The Post.

Peanut slept in his own room in their home in Pine City, south of Elmira, NY.

Fred arrived four months ago after being dropped off at her front door and spent the time between an outdoor enclosure and a room in her home.

Peanut and Fred were targeted and not the other animals living on the 350-acre property because they lived indoors.

Peanut was a star on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Even Elon Musk paid tribute to him on X today.

One post said, “President @realDonaldTrump will save the squirrels,” and another lamented, “The government kidnapped and executed an orphaned squirrel.”

“My phone is blowing up with people all over the country saying how much they love Peanut,” Longo said. “I have people calling me and crying more than me.”

The Connecticut native moved to upstate New York last April to start P'Nut's Freedom Farm, a nonprofit animal rescue he runs with his wife, Daniela. The animal shelter is home to 300 rescued animals.

Longo was stunned that the gang of so-called government conservation officers who raided his home Wednesday prevented him from caring for his other animals during their raid.

“I wasn’t even allowed to fill them up with water,” he said.

Longo explained it was illegal to house a squirrel and a raccoon, but he didn't have the “heart” to keep them out.

The DEC said in a statement to WETM that the raid was in response to complaints about Fred the raccoon, but Longo claimed they used him as an excuse to get Peanut.

“The only time I've spoken to the DEC before was when they received complaints from anonymous people on the Internet about Peanut about five or six months ago, and that was before Fred,” he said. “They used Fred as a point of contact to get into my house.”

The DEC claimed Peanut bit one of its officers on the hand during the raid, but Longo said he did not see that and that the officers' hands were heavily protected.

“I watched everyone put on gloves before entering my house. They had gloves an eagle could land on,” he said.

Longo is demanding an investigation into the claim that they tested the animals for rabies and is filing a request to obtain the medical records of the officers at his home to see if they were actually tested for the disease.

“Peanut and Fred didn’t have rabies, otherwise I wouldn’t be here talking to you. I've been around them long enough, played with them, taken care of them, and I didn't foam at the mouth,” he said.

Longo, who only learned his animals had been euthanized through his local news station, said the state must answer for its actions.

“Why was so much violence brought to my house because of a raccoon and a squirrel?” he asked.

“We have so many other things to focus on. We use our government to do this when we can’t even solve the problems we have in everyday human life.”

Gov. Hochul, as well as the state DEC and the Department of Health, did not respond to messages seeking comment.

An elected official criticized the state government for its overreaction.

“With all the crime in our migrant shelters, it’s good to know we have the time and resources for a squirrel swat team,” scoffed Councilman Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island). “I can’t wait to meet the governor’s new senior adviser, Elmer J. Fudd.”
