I had heard of the use of dolphins trained and used as mines by the US Navy years ago.
I had no idea if that was true or not but i could see it.

The other day I was offered a deal on a streaming site called Curiosity Stream.
https://curiositystream.com/
Its a documentary streaming site and covers everything you can think of for $15 / year ... I couldn't resist.

The first thing I watched was a 6 part series on WW1. In part 3 they were covering the Germans trying to capture Stalingrad. They covered the dogs being used as mines by the Russians .... with actual footage of poor little pups blowing themselves to pieces under German tanks hoping to be fed .... It was heartbreaking to watch.

I love dogs and was deeply affected as I lost my dog of 14 yrs just 3 yrs ago.
It got me doing research into the disgusting use of our best friends as weapons.
There is a lot of information out there on the subject and I thought others might want to know of this atrocity.

War IS HELL that much is certain and I wonder if we will ever truly learn.
