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."

This is some unhinged shit. Is it the drugs? Is it the Putin?

Can we please stop blaming ‘drugs’ or ketamine specifically, even when joking. This is seriously hurting its reputation and future use as a therapeutic option. It might not feel like a big deal but every time we say this it normalizes it. Not targeting you specifically just trying to call it out any time I see it - thank you.

Just because Republicans SHOOT their Puppies and DEFUND Dogs DOESNT mean they HATE Dogs!

Hoping to kick off a war when a bomb does slip through the cracks.

So how does it go down when a moral human is forced to respond to this? Curious to get a scenario where an unelected bureaucrat tells you to ignore congress?

Someone should make him watch this

With our luck, he'll wind up also refusing to feed Jim Belushi.

His career would have done that after a year or two if his brother hadn't died

Are we planning 9/11.2? Do we need to get bombs on board of airplanes, or what is the genius in this?
