Contrarian view on the dog situation: While they are clearly splitting hairs on “military working dog” (attacks on command, navigates tunnels, $100’s of thousands of dollars investment) and “contract working dogs” (bomb/drug sniffing, security, etc).

And definitely parse this whole “did not leave any dogs in cages” line carefully (especially as it increasingly appears they let them OUT of the cages instead of leaving them to die in the cages)… clearly deliberate obfuscation.

Whether one sees a qualitative difference to the two classes of dogs or not (and setting aside the fact they’re deliberately obfuscating on this), was this really the US Government’s responsibility??

It was likely “less important” dogs that were the responsibility of the contractor… who apparently found a shelter willing to take them… so it’s entirely possible everyone did their jobs right and honorably on this.

Problem is the shelter owner then tries to evacuate them all without regard to any other sense of perspective (shelter owners are like that — which is usually a good thing!)
Does the US Government’s responsibility extend to every dog shelter with a good social media game??
