I know there are far worse things going on in the world, but this is what’s getting my disgust-o-meter going today:
Colombian smugglers turned puppies into drug mules by surgically implanting them with packets of liquid heroin, authorities said.

Ten puppies, including Labrador retrievers, were rescued during a 2005 raid on a farm in Colombia, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said Wednesday, while announcing more than 30 arrests.
A veterinarian had stitched a total of 3 kilograms of heroin into the bellies of six pups. Three died from infections after the drugs were removed.
I don’t care what you think about whether or not drugs ought be illegal; people who do stuff like this are evil.
