Elon reportedly orders government to stop feeding the bomb-sniffing dogs
As Elon Musk's DOGE continues to plunder the federal government, even the TSA's bomb-sniffing K9 units aren't safe.

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."
You're viewing a single thread.
You can't put food "on hold".
Clearly you can
You can but the consequences can get pretty extreme.
What will actually happen is, the dog handlers are now forced to pay for food and vet visits out of their own paychecks. And Elon can claim to have saved a couple thousand dollars, until the lawsuits start.
Why would he care about the lawsuits? It won't ever come out of his pocket. It just becomes someone else's problem.
