Reason and the WaPost as well as many other sites are still rolling on the floor laughing at the assertion made by Chad Larner, the director of Maron County's K-9 Training Academy.

In a bid to protest legalization, the Illinois police have threatened to kill their dogs if marijuana is legalized. This could mean euthanizing hundreds of dogs trained to sniff out marijuana and other illegal substances.

Chad Larner claims:

Chad Larner, dismissed the idea of retraining dogs, saying it would amount to "extreme abuse" to change their mindset. K-9s are rewarded for successfully alerting to the presence of narcotics, and they continue to train regularly with their handlers for a suggested minimum of 16 hours a month.

[...] Because many K-9s are trained not to be social so their work won't be affected, Larner said a number of dogs would likely have to be euthanized.

While at the same time claiming the dogs are trained for many roles:

There are about 275 certified narcotic detection K-9s in Illinois, Larner said. Most of the dogs are dual-purpose, meaning they are trained to find drugs and to track and apprehend suspects and missing persons.

    Of course, it takes little wit or imagination to realize that the dogs were TRAINED to attack black people. The dog hated blacks, because the owner hated blacks. Simple as that.

    So I secretly want to fuck the postal delivery lady because the family dog humps her leg; I donno man, I almost give that a pass but its a little far fetched that an animal that barely understands when I'm shouting and broadcasting infinite brainwaves to "heel" appears to stupid yet secretly leads a life of psychoanalysis of my romantic desires.

    I think it a little more likely that after the 50th time a black dude tries to steal the kids bicycle, the dog just kinda growls at all black people on sight.

    I can't possibly explain why you want to fuck the mail lady. I can't explain why you keep it a secret. Nor can I explain why you're telling us about your sexual fantasies. I might have better luck with the dog - he's honest enough to act on his desires. If he can't eat it, fuck it. If he can't fuck it, then piss on it. That is perfectly natural for a dog.
