Depths of depravity: drug-carrying puppies

Recently, on the CBS Morning News, I heard a story that is beyond shocking. Just when we think we've heard everything, we find out that there is still greater depths of depravity to which greed will drive men.

How about drug traffickers using innocent puppies to smuggle heroin from Colombia into the United States?

Yes, that's right. A litter of Labrador puppies carrying bags of liquid heroin in their bellies. They had been crudely operated on in a lab in Colombia. Three of the puppies later died from infection.

If this horrifies you as much as it does me, then I pray that you will do all in your power to stop drug trafficking.

And, if you are a user, realize that your habit is destroying lives and marriages, and now, the ultimate in cruelty and depravity, using innocent animals to satisfy your habit. Is there nothing too despicable that human greed will not sink to?

hugh i'm with you on this one.....i thinks its probably more cruel to use human beings as drug mules....stuffing drugs in unbelievable places to get it into our country......therefore i don't believe this is the 'ultimate depravity'..but then again i am not that big an animal lovers as some.

Just curious, but where in the hell is PETA? Guess their efforts are against American-owned, capitalist interests only (KFC). Most of them are potheads too, no doubt, so their uproar might disrupt their supply. Oh well, I'm out for a bucket of chicken.....
