Israel's 'bomb squad pigs'

[bemildred]

I tell ya, reality is better than anything you
could just make up. Maybe they can teach them to
fly too ...

In Israel, a new weapon is being tested to try to foil bomb attacks -
pigs which sniff out explosives.

While a ban on eating pork is one of
the strongest taboos for Muslims and
Jews alike, a young Israeli believes
he has found a new use for the
farmyard animal.

It is the pet project of Geva Zion, a
former Israeli army dog trainer.

He believes it may be easier to train
pigs than sniffer dogs.

1. They're teaching Sharon how to sniff bombs?

9. Wrong number and bad timing for such a "joke"

Dozens of innocent Israelis were just murdered by some sicko Palestinian and this tripe lessens the true injustice that was comitted.

10. Check the date...

Equinox posted that before the attack. And what's wrong with making a joke? Or should we be serious every time people have died in an attack, If that was so, everyone would always be serious.

And Sharon is a pig: A greedy, racist, extremist pig of a man.

2. what a waste,

when they blow up uprooting Palestinian bombs, it's just wasted meat. Of course PETA can always file a cruelty to animals complaint blaming Israel for not allowing Israeli children to die instead of pigs.

7. Trufffles, Sir

It is a fungus of tree roots, oak if recollection serves. For reasons that remain unclear to me, gourmands are willing to pay fabulous sums for the stuff: it is worth many times its weight in gold. Pigs rather like the flavor as well, and are used to scent out the underground treasure.
