Yes, now that you mention it, I do recall that dogs were used as toxicology test subjects. After an afternoon of not thinking about the press conference at all this bubbled to the toip, do you recall that Atta was supposed to have some skin lesions that resembled anthrax infection (sorry, I am currently quite “remote” from hearth and home and don’t have a question mark on my keyboard). :-(
In any event, these biological/chemical methodologies make pretty lousy mass killing weapons (as folks found back in WWI (distribution being one problem, and accidental self destruction being another). But for those that really don’t understand the damned stuff, (which pretty much includes the entire US population), it makes a swell terror weapon which is what the Ossamites are after. It is a “cheap date” for those without the funds or infrastructure to support a full scale extermination.
A few years back, I learned that terrorists were looking into methods involving putting it on money.
Vegas would be a great place to do this.
Just a few instances could put the place into a standstill.
Seems like there were reports way back when the hostilities started, that we found an abandoned facility with dogs chained up and dead from “testing” of either chem or biological agents.
