How do they survive the parachute drop without taking out their hips or sustaining other injuries? And if they are injured i guess that's too bad.

Friday July 25, 2008, 9:21 am

Thank you! You signed at 4:58 PM PDT, Jul 25, 2008. Noted and signed. This is so disgusting, such little regard for a life..."This absurd and cruel tactic of deploying dogs in situations that are too dangerous for soldiers has been devised to cut down the soaring casualty rates in Afghanistan and Iraq"...The loss of these dogs will also be "casualties"! This makes me very angry! Thanks for this Mya.

dogs, can't be cops or soldiers, because they just don't meet the requirements, set fourth for human applicants, nor did they sign the required papers, nor take the requires tests, or oaths, nor do they get paid, or receive any benefits...

I have never liked the idea of dogs for police work or in war. We have used them in war for years. I have no problem if they are to just guard but that isn't their job. They are sacrificed before a soldier. Since I would take it for my dog, I can't even fathom someone letting a dog be in danger to save their own ass! I saw what that kid did to that puppy over there tossing over the edge of a cliff and killed it. Sure,he was brought up on charges but that didn't bring that puppy back to life. This happened in Iraq by our own soldier. They were suppose to be training these dogs. Why do men think dog are expendable???!!!

Saturday July 26, 2008, 2:35 am
This is just monstrous,cowardly,and despicable - I don't know how they can even consider such a cruel action.
Signed.

If dogs are man's best friend, man is definetly not DOG'S best friend! This is simply horrible, monstrous, sick, and disgusting! Cruel and inhuman treatment of our best friends. German Sherpards are loyal and lovable, they cannot due the job a soldier!! THIS IS WRONG!!

Dogs shouldn't have to pay with their lives for stupid human behavior, such as war. Let the warmongering politicians get over there and battle it out. Leave the animals alone.

Shame on the SAS and the UK for even contemplating this deployment in Afghanistan of these defenseless German Shepherd Dogs. "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way it treats its animals" Ghandhi.

Our treatment of Animals ultimately affects our treatment of each other and our world. It's time we started treating animals much, much better. If your pet were the victim, you would FIGHT to see the abuse stopped! ...Why not fight for ALL innocent animal victims!

Voted 'No' at 87% Thanks for story Mya and God bless you and keep you safe.

Sunday July 27, 2008, 4:57 am
Noted & Signed. TY Mya. These beautiful, clever dogs are not putting their lives in danger. Its the UK. This is straight out madness. They have no chance and the people that place them in this situation don't care or they wouldn't do this. I'm disgusted of the thought of it.

Thank you Mya and Joanna noted and signed!
Joanna just posted a great story with a link to this site http://www.uswardogs.org/index.html
It's all ridiculous even the members at Care2 - I'm angry today as I found that many people here I consider as animal activists are hypocrtites!!!

And what I have to do now??? There are maybe 5 - 7 people who can understand what I'm talking about (Cebelica left for good and Mark probably also)...

How it is possible that Americans are proud of sending dogs to wars but blame UK about the same!!!


And as I have "allergy" to soldiers and pictures like this from uswardogs site I said to myself that there must be something else than I thought but

I was wasting my time reading the site "uswardogs" - it is what it is
