I've actually often wondered when they'd eventually use animals in these conflicts, if somebody hasn't before. Although I was thinking some poor dog or something with a Dark Knight-style Joker stomach bomb

Didn’t we used to train dolphins to fix mines to the bottoms of German boats? I can’t imagine any of those coming out in one piece.

QI last night educated me in the use of seagulls in anti U-Boat action in WWI (though, from what Mr Fry told us, this was a big FAIL).

They sent a slamhound on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair. It caught up with him on a street called Chandni Chauk and came scrambling for his rented BMW through a forest of bare brown legs and pedicab tires. Its core was a kilogram of recrystallized hexogene and flaked TNT.
He didn't see it coming. The last he saw of India was the pink stucco facade of a place called the Khush-Oil Hotel.

So in between ****ing the donkeys they find time to strap explosives to them.
