Elon Reportedly Orders Government to Stop Feeding the Bomb-Sniffing Dogs (Futurism)

Elon Musk is a quite foul mix of evil, cruel and stupid.
"Vet visits, kenneling, dog food" are "put on hold."
As Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency continues to plunder the federal government, even the Transportation Security Administration's bomb-sniffing K9 units aren't safe.
According to an email obtained by Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, "ALL requests for everything," for the pups, including "vet visits, kenneling, dog food, etc" have been "put on hold until we receive guidance."
The email was reportedly from the TSA's Security Operations National Explosives Detection Canine Program, which trains and deploys state and local law enforcement-led canine teams.
It remains unclear who authored the email or when it was sent, but given the fact that Griffin has shared what appears to be a smartphone picture of a screen, the email is possibly sensitive in nature. Futurism has reached out to the TSA for comment.

This needs to be spread far and wide. The MAGATs may not care about much, but most will respond to depriving dogs of food and shelter.

(2,666 posts)5. Can someone call the Humane Society?
If you suspect a dog is being neglected and is in danger of starvation, it's crucial to take action promptly. Contacting local animal control, humane societies, or reporting the situation to authorities can help ensure the dog receives the necessary care and intervention.Dec 2, 2018

It's against the law in every U.S. state to treat animals cruelly. State laws usually prohibit several different kinds of mistreatment, from torturing or maiming an animal to not providing proper food and shelter.
