A friend pointed me to this rather disturbing url yesterday.

(CNN) -- A two-year investigation into a Colombian heroin ring netted more than 65 pounds of drugs, resulted in the arrests of more than 20 people and saved the lives of some drug-smuggling Labrador retrievers, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said Wednesday.

In the case of the puppies found during the 2005 raid, the dogs' bellies had been cut open, and heroin packets were stitched into their stomachs, Payne said. The pups, mostly purebred Labrador retrievers, were sewn back up and prepared for shipment to the United States, he added.

While this is sick and really wrong, some part of me wants to give some modicum praise the guy that came up with the idea. I know it's not rocket science to come up with such a cunning plan, but it at least proves that the guy isn't a total moron. Why can't these sickos apply this knowledge to the real world rather than criminal activity?

What a waste of potential.
