Animal stories about 'warriors'

The US Department of Defense had a plan to bring chickens to serve the war in Iraq. Iranian police have arrested 14 suspected squirrels used to spy on the country.

According to IRNA, Iran's official news agency, the squirrels are found near the border with body-mounted reconnaissance devices. There are many sources claiming that they are equipped with global positioning devices. IRNA said the rodents were discovered long ago by Iranian security forces, but only two weeks ago, the arrest was made.

No one knows the fate of these animals. Surprisingly, squirrels - a very shy animal - are mobilized for military and security purposes.

According to Science World , in 2003, US Marines in Kuwait bought 43 live chickens to detect chemicals, similar to the use of canaries to find toxic gas in the ground. This "chicken campaign on the Kuwait Front" is absolutely a serious Pentagon story. According to Time Magazine, the US Department of Defense even planned to bring chickens to serve in the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein in Iraq later.

"Chickens have lungs like humans, but they also have air pockets. If there is any poison in the air, chickens will die sooner than people," said Tizard, a bird researcher at Texas A&M University (USA). . In the Gulf War to fight Iraqi troops from Kuwait, chickens were also used to support US troops.

America is not the only country that uses the " warrior " animals. In 2001, the British government revealed that MI5 security agency had a plan to recruit a group of specially trained gerbils to detect spies. These animals are responsible for assisting in questioning suspects because they can detect an increase in adrenaline, which is secreted in the sweat of a person when stressed.

The MI5 director was S.Lander, who said that the plan was considered in the 1970s, but was later canceled because the gerbil did not distinguish terrorists from passengers . afraid. take flight. This is not the first time British security agents consider using rodents. According to records published in 1999, Britain used mice to explode during World War II.

Finally, it is impossible not to mention doves. During World War I, US troops used at least 600 pigeons to report in France. In which Cher Ani pigeons were awarded medals For brave action. In the last mission in October 1918, although he was seriously wounded in the memories, Cher Ani still tried to convey a message whereby about 200 American soldiers were rescued.
