Summary
A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.
The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.
TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.
The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”
K9 units are considered police officers. So he essentially wants to punish some very good (and cute!) police officers who should be getting lots of good food and belly rubs for helping so many people be safe on their flights.
there are no good cops. not even if they’re adorable.
except christopher dorner, and others like him.
Idk I think the “just following orders” defense is allowed for dogs. They actually don’t know any better.
counterpoint: they’re trained from birth to be pigs, and dog brains are bred to never be free of that, to be unfailingly loyal. it maybe a tragic kind of evil, but they are evil, and they should also be put down.
