They provoked the bite. You should see the video of how they ransacked his room and house to get the squirrel. It was likely terrifying for anyone, let alone a tiny prey animal. Most people familiar with proper wildlife handling should be able to put a little fat pet squirrel in a cage. That it bit them was their fault.
Whether it's justified that both the raccoon and the squirrel were put down - imo, not really, no. Laws allow for it, but it's very unlikely squirrels have rabies and again the bite was provoked.
But also, didn't we all watch Tiger King? Can we stop giving these influencers views who use animals like props for money? It's disgusting. It's also gross when it's a disabled person or a child.
