OT - Pets in War
 

Stole this from Smokewolf's forum but its hilarious...

Pretty good but for nerve gas, I'll chose cats instead of dogs. They don't need that much food and always generate them during meal times.:D

geese
 

I would take a good size goose .

doubles as a burglar alarm / dinner pack

(traditionally some farms in Europe had geese as livestock -but the noise they make if frightened in the night will bring the roof down I am told )

plus feathers can be of use to insulate.

I am sure they taste better than both canine and feline companions.

Now to sell the idea to my wife....hmmm..

I once live on a ranch which had, among other animals, about 20 peafowl. Not as loud as geese, but you could easily hear them if they were upset.

Edible (though we never ate any). The peacock tail feathers are good for decorating your war bonnet ;)

I choose one of those giant pouched rats they use in Africa to detect landmines. Those little guys are cool (and highly effective).

Basically a peacock/peafowl is a "chicken with bling" so they would taste like chicken almost. Actually they are a very close relation to the chicken. One time on YouTube, I saw a rooster and peacock fight over territory.

Perhaps something like this clip? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN4d5YVUqnE. At least for the first three-quarters of the clip the rooster is putting in a good showing against a much bigger bird.

In the next clip we see peacock vs turkey and Mr Turkey is a much more aggressive opponent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGVupFLg9xs

Neither clip reaches the point of becoming "murder most fowl" though :D

I don't want my rabbits to have night vision. Superior eyesight is about the only advantage I have over them.

One of my dogs, Winston, has a very powerful super-power -- the ability to cause extreme, maddening, hair-pulling annoyance, and to get into any jam and walk away smiling. He would be a good psychological weapon.

After all, they saved Rome once.;)
