US army shot cats and dogs

WASHINGTON — It’s not just curiosity killing the cat anymore — it could be the Army.

The Army Medical Research and Development Command has quietly allowed shooting cats and dogs for wound experiments despite a 1983 Defense Department ban on the practice, according to a policy update obtained by The Post.

WASHINGTON — It’s not just curiosity killing the cat anymore — it could be the Army.

The Army Medical Research and Development Command has quietly allowed shooting cats and dogs for wound experiments despite a 1983 Defense Department ban on the practice, according to a policy update obtained by The Post.

“This new policy wasn’t highlighted or publicly announced in great fanfare,” said PETA vice president Shalin Gala. “They most likely would not want the PR nightmare that would ensue should this information be released.”

In addition to house pets, the policy tweak allows the Army to use military weapons on “nonhuman primates and marine mammals” — like chimpanzees and dolphins — for research purposes with approval from the service’s animal care and use review office. The military also has been known to injure and use live pigs to train both the rank-and-file and medical personnel on treating battlefield wounds.

The Army command confirmed to PETA that at least one such test had been conducted — though the service added that details could not be released, according to a letter to the animal rights group that was shared with The Post.

You'd think with all the brown people they've shot that they wouldn't need the extra practice.

Mind you, this is an organisation that nuked pigs.

As an owner of several samoydes, a yellow lab, and a caretaker of another yellow lab who loves to curl up against me when she's not trying to provoke me into playing with her, this article was honestly hard to read without getting mad.


I mean, even without the emotional investment, how is there a need here? Why couldn't they put down animals meant for slaughter and consumption and donate the meat? What does wounding an f'n dolphin prove?


Is this even about testing the weapons, as claimed, or is it a weird dehumanization ritual? Like, some army egghead or general submits a plan that says "Most Americans love their pets. Force them to kill a puppy or a kitten and they'll be willing to kill anything!"

Hey Jadan, am I paranoid to question this story on ABC I'm seeing on ABC about rescuing cats and dogs in Ukraine?

I'm sure they do reunite owners, but I'm skeptical about the strays they claim are going to a shelter.

Yeah, what the actual ****. Find who is responsible and put them in jail, and **** anyone who disagrees. Wrong is wrong and evil is evil.
