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.”

      Obviously the dogs’ handlers will continue to care for their dogs. It’s not okay that they might be spending their own money to do so.

      Y’all Muricans need to stop this madness. Sincerely, rest of the world.
