You are probably aware that B F Skinner was paid by the American Military to devise a guided missile system piloted by pigeons. It cost something like 25,000 dollars with an accuracy of 90% it was at least as good as cruise missiles which cost a million dollars per missile (25k was for the whole missile programme offered by Dr Skinner). Basically you get them to peck on a spot which resets the guidance system each time they peck the exact spot they get a grain of corn. Dr Skinner published an article claiming the only reason it was abandoned was because the American People would not accept that their guided missiles were effectively in the control of pigeons once launched. And a million dollars a missile is nothing to the budget of American Military spending. There was another system where you got dolphins to play a game of tage with warships but Dolphins are more expensive to train and if Americans get upset over pigeon pilots no way would they allow a dolphin to die for their country. And these days they have all sorts of complicated ways of protecting warships. A Dolphin might make it through but not if they were expecting attacks by trained dolphins. Right or wrong Americans would be far more upset at the militarization of dolphins and their deaths no matter how bold and ingenious than a few thousand dying of carbon dyoxide in the Congo you say. Unless it involved elephants. I've never heard of any NATO or American driven protection force anywhere that far into Africa. But then again I think abandoning the weaponizing of pigeons and dolphins was possibly a little premature. But I have no contacts at the pentagon so no need to stress over what I think.
