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.”

    Not surprising sadly. This is the same man that labeled people relying on the government for a safety net to fucking live parasites.

    I am one of those people that is part of the parasite class. I look forward to being able to get teamed up with a doggo in the camp. That actually kinda makes me feel a little better if that would happen actually.

    What a freaking shitshow.

        All of them rely on govt way, way more than anyone else. Of course they try to paint themselves as entrepreneurs who pull themselves by the bootstraps without no help from anyone
