U.S. Spends Millions to Train Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Gifted to Arab Nations that Abuse Them
The U.S. government spends millions of dollars to train bomb-sniffing dogs essential to federal and local law enforcement capabilities but some are gifted to foreign countries that abuse them, often resulting in the spread of infection and premature death. Many of the American-trained canines are severely underweight, live in squalid conditions and suffer from untreated tick-borne disease because U.S. officials don’t fulfill their duty of assuring the dogs receive proper care. In one disturbing case, a two-year-old Belgian Malinois died of hyperthermia while working at the Syrian border. Another was found emaciated in a Jordanian kennel covered in feces and an empty water bowl.
