Poor little trash panda indeed. However the perpetrator is not the state here, it is the woman who chose to keep a wild animal in her home and treat it like a pet, very much against that animal’s best interest.
Wild animals that are acclimatized to humans have to be destroyed. They become dangerous to us and themselves when that happens. It sucks, but they do, and it is OUR fault when that happens.
This is not a case of the state being bastards. Wild animal laws exist for good reason and people need to stop getting their understandings of nature from Disney movies.
DON’T FEED WILDLIFE. Domestication is not “being nice to things” and animals can’t be pets just because you really really want them to.
