Elon reportedly orders government to stop feeding the bomb-sniffing dogs
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."
"defund the police!"
the monkey's paw curls another finger
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.
No more DEI! (Dogs Eating & Ingesting)
Ok, first remove any kind of bomb detection from any flight he's taking. Need to show that he's serious about saving money
bro, I despised you already but now you went so far beyond the limits, there is no turning back! Don't feed dogs? Anyone who trained a dog and works with that dog would rather starve than not taking care of the dog. But I get it, dogs are loving and loyal to the extreme. Both are concept you will never comprehend.
Dogs taking away jobs from humans? What a disgrace! Surely dogs are DEI hires, if I ever saw one. They're not even people!
They can just eat the bombs they find during their work. Like a barn 🐈. They also just eat the mice they catch.
"Richest man in the world to starve dogs so he can have more money."
I wish they'd be more frank. They just want more. The same class that tells us to make our own toilet paper and stop getting that morning coffee, are now digging into the pockets of dogs just for a few more coins to rub together. They'll kill us all for what amounts to pocket change for them. How much better this time line would be if he just ceases to exist.
Its not even saving anyone money, either, which is the empty pretense they're doing all this under
Last month was more expensive by a significant margin than the same month last year.
I keep waiting to find out where the line is that gets people to actually take to the streets. The bar keeps getting lower as people make more excuses to continue doing nothing.
Its always hard to predict the tipping point. When the Berlin Wall came down, it surprised literally every intelligence agency in the world. Everyone knew the Berlin Wall would fall someday, but nobody had a clue when, how, or why. And NOBODY knew it was that close.
Then one day, it just happened. Someone tried to get through the wall, and a guard just simply refused to stop him, and the floodgates opened. Within minutes, people were smashing the wall with sledgehammers, and within hours the guards were gone, and the citizens were crawling all over it, knocking down sections.
All we can do is prepare and maintain readiness. One day it will tough off somewhere, and it will spread fast. Have a plan, and remain alert.
That doesn't happen in North America
it would be hilarious for elon to die in a bombing
I love that for him
More like to die from him doing on cocaine. Rich people almost always OD on cocaine and or alcohol, or antidepressants
Even Hitler loved animals.
Adolf Hitler had German Shepherd ( Blondi) which often stayed by his side
Stop feeding Elon...
Make it a hashtag. #StopFeedingElon
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.
Surely THIS will get price of eggs down.
Bet fElon wants to smuggle drugs on his private plane.
No need to smuggle, TSA doesn’t seem care
This is so fucking funny, everyday we (the world) get to read news articles about the United States of Idiots.
Disclaimer: I don't think that all Americans are idiots, many of you are okay.
There are dozens of us!
Tens, even!
This man is literally trying to starve dogs to death so he can get a tax cut.
That is a level of evil that Saturday morning cartoons would reject as being over the top.
I propose bringing all the hungry canines over to meet Elon. It should be televized.
Kristi Noem must have plans for these dogs that for some reason won't need food, shelter, or vet care afterwards.
I'm reading this and thinking "this can't be real". How did we end up here? I really don't get it.
He's basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it's down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that's not a huge issue with computers (although you'll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can't do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He's doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that's a good idea.
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
MTV becoming a viral "reality" TV show hosting things like "The Real World" I think brought awful qualities to the mainstream, then social media gave everyone the opportunity to be THAT viral reality tv star. It may have started with Jerry, but MTV spread it to the masses. At the end of the day it was all driven by the pursuit of profits. All roads lead to capitalism, after all.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?
Waiting for someone to hopefully explain how the title is misleading and the dogs are ok plz
Obviously the dogs' handlers will continue to care for their dogs. It's not okay that they might be spending their own money to do so.
Y'all Muricans need to stop this madness. Sincerely, rest of the world.
Have the police unions feed them. They are well protected.
This is opening the gate for the next 911 style attack so they can further reduce your civil liberties.
lol, tsa doesnt prevent shit
They prevented my toothpaste from visiting Boston.
The "terrorists" have won
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Maybe its collateral damage from getting rid of drug-sniffing dogs that might narc on him and his friends
I would bet that they're aware of an attaok and opening the doors so that it can happen. They've already compromsed the rest of the industry. This is 9/ll all over again.
Yeah, they need something to blame on Canada to get the full support of their idiot population to kill us.
This is literally the plot of Michael Moore's comedy, Canadian Bacon (1995), starring John Candy. 30 years later, and Republicans are now leading us down a path that even Michael Moore deemed to be so patently absurd that it'd be perfect for a zany satirical comedy.
Airplane in USA crashes by itself so often that I don’t know I should be worried about TSA or other part of the flight system more.
Well, I know who wants an absolutely explosive birthday gift!
