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.”
Legally-speaking, K9 units are considered police officers. “Elon Musk withholds food, housing, and healthcare from over one thousand very handsome police officers” is a much better headline.
That’s very paradoxical. There are no good cops, but these officers are all good boys/girls. Therefore they can’t be police officers.
The law is wrong. Dogs can’t be fascists.
Is it? I think many people might get more upset regarding doggies being starved than cops.
