The Deccan: Para dogs will take on Taliban

[Guest guest]

This can¹t be true! This one is personal. I have a 50kg Alsatian named

Krypto. He is truly a super-dog and I can see him parachuting or

paragliding just for the fun of it. But putting dogs into combat must be

against the Geneva convention - isn't¹ it!?! It seems like once again this

breed is subject to the wims of man and war, just as the Nazis Shepherds

were trained to round-up herds of Jews to be burnt in the ovens during WWII.

Just as the Americans used GSDs in Vietnam and then left them behind,

abandoned worse then any other Vietnam veteran ever was. I guess some may

say that Animals have always been used to do human bidding during conflict;

the Horse, the Donkey, the Dolphin. ³Look at the lives they¹ve saved!²

 

Or better put another way, look at the lives they are helping to take. This

is horrible. Please, if anyone knows the contact details of the person

responsible for this project let me know. I will personally deliver a

letter to the British Embassy here in KTM accompanied by a pack of GSDs

wearing faded military gear with peace insignias sewn to the shoulders.

Placards across their back may read: ³Don¹t Throw Us Out of Planes, Throw Us

Balls Instead...or...Make Love Doggie-Style, Not War.

 

Seriously, let me know if others are protesting this one. Deserves a website

and a petition at least

 

I can dress Krytpo in shalwar kameez and shoot a closeup of his terrifying

growl (his bark is worse) and caption the photo ³Come Get Me Fido² for the

banner of the site. This just really pisses me off...

London, July 21: Para dogs are set to take on Taliban insurgents in

Afghanistan as British commanders seek to cut their soaring casualty rates

in the restive country. Fearless German Shepherds are being trained by the

British special forces to jump from aircraft at 25,000 feet to fight the

Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan. After being parachuted in hostile terrain

in Afghanistan, the dogs will lead the assault in SAS raids to seek out

Taliban and Al Qaeda insurgents. The dogs will be used in a highly-skilled

technique called " High Altitude High Opening " , jumping as much as 20 miles

from their targets and gliding towards them for up to 30 minutes.

 

The canine, with tiny cameras fixed to their heads, will beam live TV

pictures back to the troops, warning of ambushes or showing enemy leaders

locations, the Sun of Britain said on Monday. The amazing tactic has been

devised to cut down the soaring casualty rates in Afghanistan and Iraq. " The

dogs will be exposed to very high levels of danger on these operations and

you never know what's going to be behind a door. Nobody wants to see the

dogs get killed but if its their life or a mans it is obvious which the CO

would prefer, an SAS source said. Americas most elite unit the 1st Special

Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, commonly known as Delta Force, has

pioneered the skills for jumping with dogs from heights over 20,000ft.

Why cannot they clone human soldiers and send them instead.

Is this any different from what the so called 'Terrorists' have been doing

doing worldwide?

 

It is time we adapt to the use of words such as 'terrorism' and 'murder' for

every species instead of 'poaching/ culling' etc maybe then the fight for

animals can be defended better.
