U.S. Company to Send Hungry Iraq Dogs Food

Associated Press


LAS VEGAS - Some 30,000 pounds of dog food is on its way to the Middle East to feed a unit of starving Iraqi canines, after an e-mail sent by a local Army Reserve captain elicited offers to help from across the nation.

Hill's Pet Nutrition has arranged for a continuous, complimentary supply of its Science Diet dog food to be made available at an Army and Air Force Exchange Service site near Baghdad, company official Joyce Waida said Friday.

The food will be used to feed 13 Iraqi Police Academy dogs, along with U.S. military canines in the area.

Offers of help came pouring in after an e-mail sent by Capt. Gabriella Cook, commander of the Army Reserve's 313th Military Police Detachment, was made public. In the e-mail to her friends in Las Vegas, Cook said the unit of explosive-sniffing and attack dogs was starving and forced to eat table scraps and garbage for survival.

"The makers of Science Diet deserve a huge thank you. The better the care and feeding the security dogs of Iraq receive, the better they can do their lifesaving jobs amid the dangers," said Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., who along with Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., had been looking into the situation.

In Las Vegas, the president of a nonprofit group that been collecting donations to provide the Iraqi police dogs with food said she will return all the money she has received.

Judith Ruiz, president of the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society, said she received calls and e-mails from across the nation as word spread about the hungry Iraqi dogs. An air freight provider had offered to fly donated dog food to Baghdad.

"All across the country the love and compassion for these animals is absolutely extraordinary," Ruiz said. "It's very heartwarming, the emotions and the commitment."

:D this pipe tastes smoooothe. :p

Hurrah, you're feeding dogs in Iraq. Well that makes everything better then... :rolleyes:

So you're feeding 13 ( that's thirteen) Iraqi police dogs and a small amount of US military dogs?

Wow. Well. Done. I. Think. You're. So. Cool.

13 dogs in Iraq. Woohoo. I take everything about the unacceptable illegal invasion of sovereign nations on entirely false pretences back, since you're feeding 13 Iraqi dogs.

First dogs, what next? I dunno, maybe, people?

Hurrah, you're feeding dogs in Iraq. Well that makes everything better then... :rolleyes:

Just remember Dog spelled backwards is God! Just don't ignore them when they tell you to kill. ;)

Good for the company, but as an American I believe we screwed up our duty (I am sorry, Bush really did that) of using Diplomacy. We are still their and the events are going rougher then ever now!

Chick hereby bless America, for she truly is doing Chicks holy work.

and all this time to think i hated your government

guess i was so wrong

their not just out to enforce their right wing slave values on the rest of the world after all

It still doesn't make up for the donations of bombs from the US industry nicely deposited on civilian houses by accident.

Chick hereby bless America, for she truly is doing Chicks holy work.


You're really going to keep this Chick thing going, aren't you?

13 Iraqi dogs.... what an achievement.

-groan-

They'll be speaking backwards, it sounds a lot like barking. That's OK, the voices inside your head will know what they're saying. :D

Until i write him my letter or get bored yes :D.

Us policy lately is smacking of realpolitik,

"The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions... but by iron and blood."

Of course it was a european who said that wasnt it? With all the blood the EU has spilled and have let me spilled, they are in no place to judge anyone.

The EU hasn't spilled any. Except for those bits that joined in US-led invasions. Bits of the EU have, in the past, but the EU itself has only been around in it's present form since about 1993.

I don't think Iraqi's are starving to death currently.

Just the military dogs. Plus, the dogs put their lives on the line daily to sniff out cars carrying bombs.

Why can't they also feed the rest of the starving dogs, and while their at it, the starving kitty-cats?

But didn't they get involved AFTER Germany declared war on them because the USA declared war on Germany's ally, The Empire of Japan?

THe USA wouldn't have helped, or even took part in the European theatre if the German government hadn't declared war on it. Plus, the Americans had adopted a stance of isolationism, which put them in a state that was reclusive and shut-off from the rest of the world - too bad they can't use it today.

Okay, you got free dog food to feed your own dogs.
I quess all the soldiers and civilians died for a good cause then. :mad:

Hahaha..... :D

Yes, Germany had a pact with Japan. If one of the countrys was attaced by an outside nation both would declear war on that nation. The same with Italy I think.

Big deal... So they're sending a bunch of police dogs some dog food.

Sucks if you're not a police dog...
