When people are talking about a detective, I am quite sure that most of them will think about a well-known character as Sherlock Holmes or Conan, and both are human that is not surprising at all. However, it is not easy to send human into a high security place nowadays because most countries aware of underground movement that usually performs by governmwnt officer or independent warrior. While controlling a robot is not a new thing in this era, turning back to use an animal is sound more incredible.
According to "Hamas 'seizes Israeli spy dolphin' off Gaza" (2015), the dolphin with a camera, working as the spy, was caught by Hamas's military in Gaza, and it was not the first time that Islael tries to use animals to detect a confidentiality of their opponents, but a shark, a vulture and a migratory bird were also trained to deal with many missions. It is believed that the formation of Humas's marine combat unit causes Israel's rage and leads to practicing animal to serve hidden agenda.
This news reminds me about the news that was reported in Costa Rica last week, an unbelieveable crime happened there, interestingly, it did not come from human's action but the bird! (actually, there is human behind bird's action). The local warden saw the pigeon tried to fly into the prison and there was a small bag on its body which contained cocaine and hashish, yet the mission to send nacotic was failed, and a police decided to catch the pigeon for 40 days for tracking the owner. I think it will be better if a police attachs some electronic equipment on its legs and lets it go because most spies are practiced many times to carry object from one place to a destination without any error, so the police can follow its route.
Nowadays, we live in the age of advanced technological development, while most people rely heavily on machine and robot, some security organizations such as a troop or a terrorist back to rely on natural thing like the animal. One of the reasons is because people may not concentrate on what animal does, or people does not observe and question about their behaviour, just let it lives the way it lives; as a result, these weeknesses lead to a gap that people can seek some benefits from it.
However, human does not only treat those animals for being labour, but most of animal spies are killed after mission completed, that is extremely cruel, and the reason for this is just cutting the medium, preventing themselves from an enemy and protecting their commanding centre. While people usually ask for animal right and promoting many campaigns to protect: a rabbit, a cat, a sheep and others from cosmetic laboratory and fashion week, why don't we use the same standard to all animals?

I think that Ling's example in paragraph 3, the bird in Costa Rica, is also relevant to the question Feem suggested about killing animals: did the bird deliver drugs to the prisoners, or did a human being deliver drugs to prisoners using a bird?
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly that human practice a bird to do this; however, it challenge me to think that what animal does that break a law should be called a crime or not? and How a police should do when they arrest non-human criminal?
DeleteThat is interesting, as Ling says most people in this year will not think animals can be a spy or sending drugs. I also never think about this, I know that in the zoo they can trained animals to do what they want, but never for a real situation.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of testing drug on animal, this is one of controversial issue for a long time after the advent of modern knowledge and new successful research on drug innovation. I believe this issue has both pros and cons, and I would not to talk about them. On the other hand, one thing I was wondering is if testing drug on animals sometimes make them suffered; sometimes not, when thinking of the idea by Law that eating meat is morally wrong, I am not sure whether such testing drugs on animal could be also morally wrong or not.
