Dogs As Drug Mules

This report will undoubtedly upset some people.

From Miami.com:

DEA agents in Colombia find bags of liquid heroin packed into the sliced-and-sewn bellies of young Labrador retrievers to get the drugs to the U.S.

According to a Drug Enforcement Agency announcement yesterday, the smuggling was discovered as a result of a two-year undercover operation. Six Labrador retrievers were found implanted with three kilos of liquid heroin packets in Medellin, ready to be shipped into the United States.

Frankly, this story doesn't surprise me in the least. Not only would I expect the drug smugglers to use innovative methods but the story is old news. In fact, I previously posted about puppies being used as drug mules over a year ago. My source was a report out of Australia. I'm at a loss to explain why it took the DEA and the MSM so long to announce and publish the story.

Dare I suggest that the DEA could have avoided the expense of a year's worth of undercover operations by simply keeping abreast of the news on the Internet?
