22 Arrested For Smuggling Drugs in Puppies

Submitted by ninjatoes

Edited by crispy

When a person decides to become a drug mule, it is their decision. A decision usually made out of desperation, but it's still a choice. But to take an innocent animal, and treat them as something disposable is beyond my comprehension.

I hope they throw away the key.

The Drug Enforcement Administration arrested 22 Colombian nationals for smuggling heroin into the United States via various methods, including surgically implanting the drug into puppies, officials said Wednesday.

At least three puppies died from having liquid heroin packets placed inside them and then being stitched back up, DEA spokesman David Ausiello said.

Considering as we legally raise billions of animals in tiny cages every year for the sole purpose of slaughtering them, and, similarly, inject millions more with experimental drugs for our research purposes, this small group of animals doesn't seem particularly tragic to me... At least most of them lived. It's a fucked up idea, but I think animals continue to deal with a lot worse from us. I condone eating meat (and I'm a meat eater), so in the name of consistency I really don't feel entitled to be too angry about this.

Take an innocent animal and treat it as something disposable? We do it all the time...

The drugdealers, I mean. Not the poor animals! I guess it is something to make us all stop using this kind of junk. frown

How could you say that?! Haven't you learned that it's perfectly acceptable in today's society to devalue the animals that aren't "cute"? I mean, c'mon, man...a cute little puppy-dog's life is far more important than that of a stinky cow. whatever

Yeah...I completely agree with you. If the drug mules were literally mules, people would say, "Oh, that's shitty," and get on with their day. When they're puppies, though, those smugglers have absolutely crossed the line.

It's all fucked up.

I don't know about that. Dead dogs are only worth a couple of posts on a web site. A dead cow is worth about $3/pound.

Ummm, it's not that they're cute, really. It has more to do with the fact that dogs have been our companions for centuries. They help blind people, for shit's sake. They are more than animals. Your comparison to mules isn't really fitting because we don't really care that much when actual humans are used to traffic drugs, but when you mess with our dogs, then you can go fuck off. It might not be the most "logical" perspective, but most of the shit that people feel isn't. Sorry you two can't understand it...

Did I say I don't/can't understand it? No. Don't try and make me look like a heartless bitch, then.

What I'm saying is that the only reason we view a dog's life as being of more value is through thousands of years of conditioning.

Yes, it's tragic and completely heinous that someone could do such a thing as to inflict pain/death on a defenseless creature, but keep that in mind when you're munching on your Big Mac.

The only reason we feel so strongly about the needless deaths of domesticated animals is because we've been raised to.

You are absolutely no one to say one's life is more important than another's.

Of course it's because of conditioning. Almost everything is...why does it matter why we feel this way? We are raised to believe lots of things, but that doesn't make them any more or less valid reasons.

The fact is, though, if you've ever owned a dog, you'd know that they would risk their lives to save yours. No wonder we feel extra pangs when humans treat them cruelly, more than we would if they were using other animals or even people, but that's the way it is. We make those judgements everytime we eat meat (as the other guy does) or swat a fly, or wear leather.

I didn't mean to make it seem like I was calling you heartless, believe me, I'm not. It just seemed like you guys (more so the guy you responded to) were saying "This is no worse than killing animals for food. We wouldn't care if it were an ugly animal" when that is not the point. The fact is, we treat dogs differently because for hundreds of years they have been different.
