Heroin Implants Turned Puppies Into Drug Mules, U.S. Says

By AL BAKER and WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM
Published: February 2, 2006
A Colombian drug trafficking organization was readying purebred puppies as drug couriers by surgically implanting large packets of liquid heroin into their bodies to ship them to the United States, federal officials said yesterday.
Ten puppies, including several Labrador retrievers, were discovered on a farm in a makeshift veterinary clinic in Medellín, Colombia, during a raid about a year ago, said John P. Gilbride, the special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's New York Field Division. He said surgical tools and a table for operations were found in the clinic...

Of the 10 dogs, 6 had the drugs implanted in them, 3 later died from infection from the incision, whereas the other 7 are now alive & well as adult dogs in Colombia.

(this is disgusting and awful, of course, and I flash back to the scene in "Maria Full of Grace" when she's swallowing those lubed pellets and gag...)

Somehow doesn't bother me as much as if they'd fucked up human being's lives by forcing them to act as drugs mules...

How much smack can you get in a puppy anyway?

― The Man in the Iron-On Mask (noodle vague), Friday, 3 February 2006 12:06 (twenty years ago)

depends on size of puppy, obv, but an alsatian, for instance, could take one hell of a hit I reckon.

I think the problem is that it's not an either/or situation. It's dogs and people. The one-two whammy of my favourite species.

A person, at least, can understand what's happening to him. It could still be cruel & coercive, but he can make sense of what's happening.

A puppy just wants to play with the ball and get a treat, "so why'd you cut me?"

Dogs used as mules. Finally some use for man's worst "friend". And mule? Something of an upgrade there.
