Reading about animals being used as spies is both funny and sad to me. Of course a title about fish being used as spies initially is interesting and seems a bit ridiculous, but the more I think about it the more sad it becomes. The use of animals in our wars brings danger to many innocent animals. For example, the beluga whale mentioned n the article was believed to be a Russian spy because it was wearing a harness. In reality, the whale was an escaped children's therapy whale. The paranoia that animals are being used as spies brings danger as they could be killed due to suspicion, even if they are not truly being used as spies.
