    And the difference between them and baggage handlers is...?

    I say if baggage handlers can get away with this kind of behaviour, then so should the sniffer dogs.

    In the US, the many of the dogs used by ICE are shelter rescues. They're socialized for a year before they're trained. They're also spayed/neutered.

    In many countries, spaying and neutering is considered an atrocious act of mutilation. But most Western countries don't have the stray problem we have. But most of Asia has a worse problem.

    And the female did what?

    All of the reported antics were down to the male dog, what did the bitch do to get fired? I think there's good grounds for a claim of unfair dismissal here.

    Actually, if people looked at the numbers of animals destroyed humanely in most western countries

    I think they'd all be in favour of neutering. In a mslal country like Ireland, thousands of stray dogs are authenised every year - a number that would drop significantly if pets were fixed. Similarly with cats.

    It is unpleasant, but it can avoid worse fates for any offspring

    Title

    Let's face facts.... judging from the amount of whiie powdery residue found in the toilet cubicles of say.... the house of commons.... any Sniffer dog sent in there would come crawling out on it's knees.... not leg shagging passerbys.
