The Secret World of Animals
By Martin Brown
THERE IS a long history of animals being used to defend and protect us – from Hannibaltasks elephants to guide dogs for the blind. But nowadays theretasks a whole new dimension to what animals can do – including spying missions!
A Codename: Mr Codfish
The famous Russian animal trainer and circus artist Vladimir Durov was the first to suggest using trained marine animals to defuse sea mines during the First World War. Twenty seals were trained in 3 months and showed very good results. Since the 1970s, both the USSR and the USA have used dolphins and sea lions, who can see and hear extremely well underwater and are able to detect enemy swimmers and sea mines. Traditionally, human divers have had to do this job, but now they dontaskt need to. Russia might start using dolphins to protect the Crimea coastline.
B Codename: Goldwing
Pigeons were extensively used as messengers in the two World Wars and were so important that UK citizens couldntaskt shoot them. They had two crucial qualities: they were able to find their way home from anywhere and could fly at great speed. On one famous occasion in 1918, a heroic French pigeon called Cher Ami saved 194 soldiers and won a medal for bravery! Another equally heroic pigeon had to wear a camera around its neck and was supposed to take photos. Unfortunately it couldntaskt fly very far with the camera, but still succeeded in returning on foot two days later!
C Codename: Squeak-squeak-bang-bang
A Belgian research group has trained rats to find landmines in ex-war zones like Mozambique. Rats can do the job very well because of their excellent sense of smell. They have to run around a specified area and are supposed to stop and scratch the ground when they smell explosives. More than 50 people a day are killed or injured by landmines, but rats have been able to reduce this risk. On one occasion, they managed to find nine mines in one day and are sure to get better at it in future.
D However, not everybody is happy about all this. One animal rights supporter said, taskWhy has such cruelty to animals been allowed in this country? Ordinary people cantaskt treat animals badly, but scientists are allowed to. Theretasks so much technology these days, they needntaskt use sea lions! Missions like this can be very dangerous, and the animals could die. In fact, they might! But nobody will ever tell us. Animals shouldntaskt suffer like this. They should be free!"
Animals can help us in all kinds of ways
