3. Thank you.
The shortage of fighting forces has forced us to sink this low?

2. Taliban was eviscerated in 2001 according to our military
We are just slaughtering Afghan people now.

5. It is horrible.
Soldiers have a choice to sign up to fight, dogs do not

4. I don't believe it
Sorry, I would have to see a lot more evidence before I put my name to a petition.

I think some is playing fast and loose with the actual facts.

11. The link shows me a petition with only one quote
and it's most likely out of context. Looks like someone is snowballing you. For what reason? I have no idea.

9. I'm not sure how Americans signing a UK petition will help, but this is horrible
I support the use of animals to sniff out explosives, for instance. Yes, there's some danger in that, but normally the handler loves his dog very much.

These dogs, however, are all going to be killed, it seems. That's just wrong.

evidence to back it up?

15. I did not make the petition up.
It is being discussed on all petlover sites. Care2 is a reputable organization.

13. Petition is going world wide
Edited on Wed Oct-01-08 07:34 PM by obamaforme
We know that Dogs are Man's/Woman's/Humans best friends and are used in many capacities to help us. But this I find so outrageous that I have been crying ever since I came across it on an animal site. This petition is going worldwide. Please sign - please.

10. To be fair
this isn't exactly new. Dogs have gone to pretty much every major land war in human history.

Doesn't make it right, but this isn't unique.
