Elon Reportedly Orders Government to Stop Feeding the Bomb-Sniffing Dogs

As Elon Musk's DOGE continues to plunder the federal government, even the TSA's bomb-sniffing K9 units aren't safe.

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.”

    Same here. Since 2016.

    There’s no such thing as rock bottom. It can always get worse.

    Except: death. Total annihilation. Planet im- or exploding. That’s the only actual rock bottom there is.

      Yes, but is it instant death, like a plane crash, because the FAA got defunded, or a slow excruciating death because your Healthcare was cut? Or by dehydration in some internment camp because you liked a tweet by AOC?
