Technology takes jobs away from humans everyday, but now animals are getting in on the act. Listening to the radio today, I heard that ferrets are now used to run wires down conduits and clean out stoppages. Spiders are used instead of pesticides to rid produce of other pest. Monkeys have been trained to gather coconuts.
Of course we have been using seeing eye dogs for years and that has worked out. But, I wonder about spiders????? In one of my previous lives, I loaded trucks. When a truck came in that had been hauling bananas, the first thing we did was inspect the truck for tarantulas. A big hairy spider can really ruin your day.
So, if we are going to use critters, I would like to suggest that skunks would be excellent in evacuating a building in case of an emergency. Or, they could really do a good job on crowd control. Talk about breaking up a riot. One or two skunks would thin out the true protesters.
The only problem I see is if they unionize.
I do not want to be involved in that salary discussion.
