Smugglers Hid Heroin in Puppies' Bellies...

[Zim Hosein]

BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - Colombian drug traffickers surgically hid heroin in puppies' bellies in a plan to evade international customs controls, police said on Tuesday.
Acting on a tip-off, police found six puppies with scars on their abdomens at a rural property near the city of Medellin in northern Colombia, the Colombian Police said in a news release.

Ultrasound scans revealed bags of liquid heroin hidden inside the living animals. Police said traffickers planned to retrieve the drug once the dogs had passed customs abroad.

"The lust for money leads criminals to commit acts of great cruelty," the police said.

The puppies were recovering after the heroin was removed by veterinarians.

Using animals for smuggling is unusual although drug smugglers often rely on couriers to swallow condoms full of drugs and one Colombian woman was once found with cocaine surgically implanted in her buttocks.

Colombia is the world's largest producer of cocaine and the main supplier of heroin to the United States.

Memo to President Bush: Please allocate me 30 B-52's, 14 F-15's, and a boatload of Napalm from the vietnam war era. The war on drugs will end abruptly.

I love how this seems to spark more outrage than smuggling drugs in the bellies of impoverished single-mothers that don't speak English and are desperate for money.

People make that choice. Dogs don't.

How do you know it's really much of a choice? Maybe it's "do this or I kill your family".

I saw something where heroin was hidden in breast implants.

I should note that the thing I saw was an episode of nip/tuck.

exactly. I remember a story about how students did research in a town, they would approach a house with a person who said they were hurt, and nobody would help them. Then they went up to the houses with a puppy that they said was hurt, and everyone wanted to help. sad.

I'd settle for a rambo knife and 5 minutes alone with the perpetrators of this act.

Customs use dogs to sniff out the drugs. It seems fair that the drug smugglers use dogs to smuggle in the drugs.

I think it's because many of us love dogs more than we love people. We have been given many good reasons to feel that way.

Dogs don't surgically implant drugs into other animals...plus they fetch your slippers

Dogs don't, but we know damn well that cats would if they had opposable thumbs.
