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."

Sociopaths don't understand the role of pets. That's why Krasnov is the first president in 100 years to not have a pet.

Like a badly-written comic book villain.

Except in a comic book, he'd be a one-off.

I heard when Elon played the original Wolfenstein he would kill all the dogs and leave the Nazi soldiers alone. He thought the goal was to collect all the scattered treasure to take to Hitler at the end.

How can anyone hate dogs? Afraid? Yeah, I can understand that. Hate? Wow.

Psychopaths usually hate animals. One of the early signs of psychopathy is harming animals.

It's not that they hate animals, they literally have no understanding of hate, love, empathy, conscience, or any other human emotion toward animals, or even humans for that matter.

Being Socio/Pyschopathic is a primary character trait of MAGATurds. Usually they try to disguise their broken personalities, but MAGA has made it fashionable to celebrate their mental illness. Now we live in a nation where good people have to disguise themselves as sociopaths so they can fit in.
