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.”
This is literally the plot of Michael Moore’s comedy, Canadian Bacon (1995), starring John Candy. 30 years later, and Republicans are now leading us down a path that even Michael Moore deemed to be so patently absurd that it’d be perfect for a zany satirical comedy.
Holy cow, Michael Moore made Canadian Bacon?? And as late as 1995??
I was surprised when I found that out, too. It’s apparently the only fictional movie he’s made; everything else has been documentaries.
I guess they’ll have to update the Wiki page when it comes true anyway, LOL.
