Appalling

And entirely predictable: U.S. Spends Millions to Train Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Gifted to Arab Nations that Abuse Them (sorry, link fixed)

It is a heartbreaking story involving the taxpayer-funded Explosive Detection Canine Program (EDCP), which also provides specially trained dogs to foreign nations—mostly Arabic—under an antiterrorism assistance project operated by the State Department. The goal is to enhance the ability of their law enforcement agencies to deter and counter terrorism. The State Department doesn’t bother following up to assure that the recipient nations are keeping their end of the agreement to adequately care for the precious animals. The sordid details resulting from the government’s negligence are only public because the State Department Inspector General received an anonymous complain on its hotline. The watchdog launched an investigation and published the findings in a lengthy report that includes agonizing pictures of the victims in the custody of their foreign handlers.

  1. Didn’t look at the link as I really can’t stand to see animals being tortured.

    Suffice it to say that it’s time western civilizations across the globe quit propping up these shiteholes. Look after them from “afar” with Raytheon gift packages if the need arises. Other than that…cease all interaction with them.

    the solution is clear. NEVER for the next 1,000 years send ANY dogs to muslimes for ANY reason.
    let them blow each other up, blow their OWN planes out of the sky and kill each other as they ahve been doing since the founding of the sunni-shyte conflict.
    and dont send them a bloody nickel and dont let a single one of them into the USA without huge delays to conduct a 99.999% vetting.
    then wait some more.

    1. “…let them blow each other up, blow their OWN planes out of the sky and kill each other”

      LET them? Me, I’d say ENCOURAGE them.

  3. So within the Islamic wastelands they treat dogs somewhat like how they treat women. Sounds like the Spawn should up his import quota as they are his kind of people.

    1. Well, they shave about as much … nah they’d probably be stoned for showing off their ankles.

  4. Can’t watch. But any religion that hates dogs is just evil, backward and wrong and anyone who would mistreat a dog is a low life, inhuman bastard. Now excuse me, my wife is threatening to kill my dog if he doesn’t shut up! Gotta go save him! 😀

  5. Why the hell is anybody giving freaking Arab muslims anything. They hate us and will kill us when the opportunity arises. Is everybody stupid? The answer is yes.

  6. I think what galls me the most is that this story will generate more bad mojo for the mooselimb countries than one hundred stories of them abusing and killing their own women and children. Kids die, nobody cares. Women die, nobody cares.

    But let a dog die? Oh the humanity!!!!

  7. I Have more love and respect for dogs than a lot of humans lately. (But I spend a lot of time time working in the bowels of Hamilton Ontario)

    Heard a funny saying awhile ago….” Dog a man’s best friend, but a cat will never tell the police where a man stashed his dope”
    Heh

  9. All the so-called Kingdom of Jordan ever was was the (larger) part of the Holy Land that the Jew-haters and Arab-lovers of Westminster refused to return to the Jews.

    Get the Arabs off Jewish land and the lot of the region’s dogs will improve by leaps and bounds.

  10. Thanks for posting this, Kate.
    I’ve been trying to pass this on to everyone… that includes my Congressman and Senators.
    This breaks my heart to think of those wonderful animals having to live with the neglect, abuse and general hatred that society has for them.
    Hopefully someone in Washington will have the courage to buck the system and bring them home so they can be cared for and hopefully adopted out.

    “We’re ready to help Saudi Arabia to protect their people,” said Putin, flanked by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iran’s Hassan Rouhani. Ensconced in a front-row seat, Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s jovial foreign minister, grinned expectantly, waiting for a weaponised Russian joke.
    Zarif was not to be disappointed.
    Referring to the Saudis, Putin continued: “And they need to make a clever decision, as Iran did by buying our S-300, and as Mr. Erdogan did by deciding to buy the most advanced S-400 Triumph air defense systems from Russia,” he added with a smirk.
    “These kind of systems are capable of defending any kind of infrastructure in Saudi Arabia from any kind of attack,” finished Putin, as Rouhani convulsed with giggles and even the normally dour Erdogan broke into a smile.
    As a ripple of laughter erupted across the room, Rouhani jokingly asked Putin which system would he recommend, the S-300 or the S-400? “They can choose,” he replied.
    Putin’s barb was aimed at multiple targets, including the failure of the US security shield, President Donald Trump’s policies in the region and Washington’s reputation as an undependable ally.
    It hit the mark with the precision of a guided weapon, which analysts and observers were quick to note on Twitter.
