24 U.S. Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Executed Help Us Save the Rest

 

At least 24 of 140 bomb-detecting sniffing dogs have been executed in Kuwait by a US security company.  The retirement of canine officers, military or otherwise, should be of the utmost importance to a society that values its animals and its protectors, making news of this treachery and abuse enraging. These dogs were civilian working dogs, trained to detect explosives at oil refineries. But when Eastern Securities, the crooked firm they were exploited by, lost its contract, CEO Bill Baisey and Project Manager Tony Touchet ordered the killing of the dogs by their kennel cleaner, purportedly so they would not have the expense of caring for and relocating them.

It is only thanks to brave Kuwaiti whistleblower, Furij Al Furaij, that the dog killings have come to light. Former Eastern Securities employees, and US dog vendors have now come forward to reveal longstanding abuse of dogs, failure to treat injured and ill dogs, working dogs with cancer, food and water deprivation, and directors failing to act on routine kicking of the dogs by handlers.

Eastern Securities has also been exposed for recruiting impoverished workers from third-world nations and holding them against their will, stripping them of their passports, work visas and cell phones, and often refusing to pay salaries.
