Pirate Busting Doggies
Pirate-busting dogs face new obstacle
KUALA LUMPUR — Movie pirates are spraying chemicals on their bootleg DVDs to confuse two United States-loaned dogs who this month helped Malaysian authorities sniff out nearly one million illegal discs, an official said yesterday.
.
The two female Labradors have been trained to detect polycarbonate chemicals used in manufacturing discs.
.
But officials received a tip-off that bootleggers are using chemical sprays to throw Lucky and Flo off the scent, said Mr Fahmi Kassim, the Domestic Trade Ministry’s enforcement chief in Johor state. “The pirates are believed to be desperate because the dogs were so successful,” he told AP.
.
Last week, ministry authorities said the dogs were moved to a safe house after a source informed them that the pirates were offering a bounty to anyone who could kill the dogs, which are on loan for at least a month from the Motion Picture Association of America. — AP
Im sure the dogs will smell the DVD fragrance the moment they step into China.
