Not animals. So why should it be ok to involve them in our wars?” is just daft. Animals don’t have wars because they don’t have the intelligence to organise themselves into an army and build weapons. And if they could, do you really think humans would be left out of it? If you’ve ever seen dogs fightin you’ll know that they don’t stop for whatever gets in their way, be it another dog (who’ll prob join in), a person (who’ll have a nicely shredded leg) or a child (who’d be lucky not to be mauled to death). Charging animals will pretty much plough into whatevers ahead of them. It unlikely that they’d bother to consider the feelings of whoever they where braining with their hooves.”

No stuart, yours is the daft comment. It makes no sense really. An animal who does not stop for a human who is in the way of an animal fight is not the same as strapping bombs to animals to aid in a human fight. What you mention would be similar to an animal happening to get blown up or shot accidntally in human war. What we are discussing here is seking out animals to participate (and almost certainly be killed) in a human fight. A pretty important distinction.

I know the article is old. Just my 2 cents.

I was in the Army and deployed to Baghdad International Airport. Every vehicle that came through the gate had to be searched top to bottom, inside and out (the same for the passangers as well). Animals on the other hand came and went. I remember thinking one day, “Wow, what a great place to put a bomb…”.
Yikes!”

That’s so funny I forgot to laugh!

If i could sacrifice the family dog to save the family then it looks like after an apology that just wont cut it and a heartfelt goodbye i’d have to send him on his way. Not something i’m very happy about but war is an ultimatum.

Are you aware that male dolphins requently gang rape female dolphins? Are you aware of the wasps that inject their eggs into spiders? The larva(?) that hatch then eat the spider alive from the inside out in such a way as to keep it alive and aware as long as possible? Yeah, wars suck, but nature isn’t pristine and fluffy-bunny-let’s-hold-hands-and-sing-“we are the world.” Nature is as sick and twisted and disturbing as humans can be.”

No! your the one that is sick and twisted and you are disturbing me!!

Now make like a good human and Shoot… yourself!!
