I remember reading somewhere that in Medieval times if an army was fielding war elephants the opposing army would cover pigs in grease and set them on fire. Apparantly elephants were scared of pink fiery sqeauling things running around.

There's also been bat bombs, mine hunting dolphins and ninja cattle.

I believe it was pitch, actually. And like the dogs, the pigs could sometimes get going the wrong way, and then you have 200lbs of flaming panic crashing through your lines. Not good.

I used to live in an area where we had a feral pig problem. You had to be real careful driving in the country, because if you hit one of those things at freeway speeds, it'll flip the car. Pigs may be short, but they're built like little tanks.

What a terrible thing to do. I know many nations used animals in the war, but still im glad it backfired on them.

I hope the people who thought this up and implemented this died a slow and horrible death…something like being eaten alive by the very dogs they tried to kill…now that would be poetic justice….

Still better than human suicide bombers.

Just like medicine advances made through experiments on animals is preferrable to those done on humans.

In life, you are many times forced to pick the lesser of two evils.

Well I think they got what they deserved when the dogs went after their own tanks. Hopefully it did some true damage to them.

The cowards should have strapped bombs to themselves and went under the German tanks, since they were so desperate to blow them up.

Well God/Karma taught them a lesson anyway when it backfired.

lol cowards... you wanna' run at a tank? douche bag.


and I'd love to see what your leading statement about Japanese AT methods are if you have any more information or pictures. In the words of G.I. Joe... knowing is half the battle!

Oh and on the animal front... they also have no symbolic memory, and therefore are not capable of attributing methods or logical reasoning towards actions, they very much live in the moment and do not ascribe any form of judgement to and action or event.

To start with the most basic they used backpacks loaded with explosives, functionally similar to satchel charges except they were worn on the back of an infantryman who would conceal himself until the tank was in range, and then dive under it, detonating the charge by pulling a cord. They would also dig foxholes in the middle of the road, mostly during the Burmese campaign, where troops would hide with explosives which they would detonate when a tank passed over them. These men were not issued sidearms, and there are reports of them being overrun by Allied forces and standing to die rather than use the explosives to defend themselves - presumably because they had been instructed that these explosives were only to be used for the vital effort of destroying enemy armour. Type 93 anti-tank mines were also mounted on poles and thrust under the track of an oncoming tank by hand; bad for the tank, and the guy on the other end of the stick.

I think no-one gets to judge war, or the acts within war unless they were there.

no one can comprehend or condemn any act of war unless they were the ones who had to act it or choose it.

Its a madness were unfortunately morals and rights get compromised. For example, you can't say that using dogs is wrong, but the government permitted murder of millions one soldier at a time is any more or less wrong.

its unfortunately all equal. Its madness, its unfortunate, its immoral, and its inconceivable. Which is why we don't get to pass judgement, it happened we have to accept it and learn from it. But we don't get to judge it.

Almost every nation has done something reprehensible throughout the course of history. I could list things but can't be bothered as it's not relevant. the point is, humans always have done horrific things to each other and things around them, and we always will.

Your statement may be true, but it seems as though you are making excuses for them. You seem to come from the standpoint that its ok to do whatever you want since it is war. Are you saying we cant judge modern day suicide bombers?

I am simply speaking on behalf of these murderd animals. Animals are more pure than humans anyway.

I am simply saying I am glad it failed for these people. And I still stand by every single statement I have made in this thread.
