A measure of the lack of loyalty that rises to leadership positions in times of r:
TWO Army dogs which helped save thousands of lives while on duty in Afghanistan will be put down next week, because Top Brass say they can’t be re-homed.
Belgian shepherds Kevin and Dazz sniffed out deadly IEDs on missions in Helmand Province before being retired.
Both face lethal injections after chiefs ruled them unsafe for new homes. One angry handler said as a rescue campaign began: “We’ll do anything to save them.”
A distraught handler has slammed the decision to destroy Army dogs Kevin and Dazz — saying: “This is such a cruel way to treat these animals that have given us so much.”
Fortunately r-strategists who lack loyalty tend to be unusually prone to social shaming, so a petition was started here by former SAS great Andy McNab.
I put it here as a mark of r, and because you never know who might see it, and trigger some traction.
These are work animals. These are not children, these are not your kin, these are work animals. Soft hearted people adopt them and by doing so they bring the equivalent of a mentaly handycapped child into their live that can’t use the toilet by himself for around five to seven years.
It took me several looks at this photo to recognize the person in the picture as a woman. I thought she was a man several times before.
i’ll take one
These are work animals. These are not children, these are not your kin, these are work animals.
A thing has value only in its utility?
Besides, dogs are more than work animals.
In other words, lay off the autism.
They should let their handlers take them and if they don’t want them they could always be given to other families with full disclosure that they might have issues and what these would be. Maybe some can adjust and then they should be put down but not until they have been given a chance.
I have dealt with dogs with issues before and those that have served us in this manner should deserve to live out their days and enjoy the fruits (freedom) of their labor
