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."

Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.

All that's going to happen is the people who the dogs live with will end up buying them food. As if they would starve a member of their family.

I thought that we already established that in Magastan "illegal" is only for poor people.

And abuse is a key part of the plan.
