Just lost my job coal mining. Now I am training rats to reclaim abandoned land mines. Thanks Kumala.

Did I just read that the rats detect landmines and tuberculosis
I bet since this lady can smell Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, it would be possible to train the rats to do that too

I can smell who in my family has Alzheimer's too, pro tip:
It's the one who never remembers to wipe his ass
I don't think the main reason for using rats to find mines isn't just their sense of smell(pretty sure other animals do that better, in general (hounds, bears, etc), though rats may be better at certain compounds in the case of tuberculosis)
It is the fact that they are lightweight and lighfooted(so they are less likely to set mines off, and probably more expendable).
The best animal to be trained to find landmines is a Democrat, because in case a landmine goes off, the trainers don't become as attached to the Democrats, so it's better for morale. Democrats aren't as easy to train as rats, though. Not quite as intelligent.
thanks for making me bust out laughing😎😎😎😎😎. I have been so pissed off the last couple of months...
Not really less expendable, it still takes a while to train them properly. But they require less space to house, and take less food & water. A single equipped trailer can house dozens of trained rats, with both food and water for months of operation. The same trailer could house only 1 or 2 dogs.
I just also sort of figured that while dogs are in most places, rats are EVERYWHERE so thats why they picked them
Pretty sure that it isn't common brown rats.
I think they only use these

Only native to Africa, though they are apparently invasive in the Florida Keys
Apparently also occasionally escape from being pets in the southern states, but doesn't seem to be significant breeding population.
You are simply unaware of a commonly known fact
The pede was simply sharing. Whether it’s true or not it’s up to the person reading (we have brains, you know?)
No need to sound harsh
Never go full retard boys.
Why is it hard to believe that a disease creates a subtle external bodily change?
If I remember right dolphins raped my boy.

It's an honest living. Dogs can detect terminal cancer.
Probably more accurately than some doctors.
How hard is it for you to duckduckgo 'dogs detect cancer'
The guy’s being rude, but it is true it’s not on him to prove a point for the other side.
"I don't understand it, so everyone is wrong." You are a fucking retard.
No, Covid, if you gerbil it up your ass, it can sniff out COVID... You know you have it, if it backs out on its own and you don't gotta go to the ER. My wife's BF told me that.
It's also 1000 percent more effective that Chinese asshole saw test, but it goes further than 2 inches. Also, only baby rats unless you have alternative experience
