A vulture recently "captured" in Saudi Arabia, was charged as a spy for a foreign intelligence agency Mossad, Israel. Although it may seem like a regular occurrence, it is just one of the many animals who have been accused of spying.From insects to squirrels, animals have been accused of various forms of espionage for years. As the development of technology, it seems that this trend will continue to increase.
If these accusations are just frightened unprovoked or weird truth?, we have compiled a list of several lists of animals are used as spies in a unique and whimsical, and will probably make James Bond Jealous.
How do you think? Is this the future of espionage, or should we stop the recruitment of species as the preeminent spies?
- Vulture
Saudi Arabia has recently accused the vultures as a spy after he was found carrying a transmitter bracelet that is placed at the feet of scientists at the University of Israel. The researchers reasoned that the tagging was used to study migration patterns. 
Cat
In the 1960s, the CIA reported to have surgery to insert a microphone and transmitter into a cat, a project dubbed the "Acoustic Kitty." Former CIA officer Victor Marchetti told The Telegraph about the project
"to dissect a cat, put batteries in him, wired. The tail is used as an antenna, they make a bad .."
The first cable cat, according to the Guardian, released to spy on and with just a few steps toward the target before the cat was hit by a taxi. then the CIA concluded that the project is not practical to collect data - data intelligence.
Squirrels
Iranian police reportedly arrested 14 squirrels for spying allegations in 2007.Menurut Mental Floss, foreign intelligence services found that the squirrels have been equipped with equipment to eavesdrop.
"Meanwhile, Foreign Affairs sources told Sky News reported that" the story is ridiculous."
Pigeons
Iran claims to have found "spy pigeons" near nuclear facilities in 2008. This accusation is not the first of its kind. According to Wired, the carrier pigeon camera might have been there since 1903, when a German engineer to experiment with the idea.
Pigeons have played a role in the war so strongly that I, a pigeon Cher Ami, won a medal for saving lives of U.S. soldiers during World War I. And how do spy pigeons can be disabled?
In World World War II, the British used two peregrine moaning dove to intercept a German spy, and some successes were reported.
Sea Lions and Dolphins
The U.S. Navy has been recruiting sea lions and dolphins to the Marine Mammal Program.
Apparently not inspired by the irony of military recruitment "Navy Seals," but rather chose these animals because of their ability to hear and see under water with low light.
Thus, mammals have been trained to sweep for mines, a camera, and even cuff the suspect under water.
Animals groups objected to use of these animals in combat.
"War is to man as the people and political parties may decide war is necessary, animals can not," said Dawn Carr of the Society for Ethical Treatment of Animals on the BBC.
Hawks/Eagles
Eagle suspected of spying for India after officials found a bird carrying what looks like a high-tech equipment for surveillance.
According to BBC, India initially suspect it's the eagle eyes of Pakistan, a senior police officer explained, he stated that the birds were only used to help with the hunting expedition. ith other words, the Eagle is spying, but in other birds, not in people.
Insects
The scientists reported experimenting with insects for surveillance. Telegraph explains that the electrodes, batteries, and video cameras are being installed to the insect. U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is working to incorporate transmitters into the brain with moths and beetles as a cocoon.
It is believed that the creature will naturally incorporate implants into their bodies as they evolve.
Chickens
Perhaps ironically dubbed Operation "KFC," is an abbreviation of the Kuwaiti Field Chicken, when the U.S. army plans to use the chicken during the battle, the BBC reported.
The plan is the chicken will be used to detect toxic gases, but 41 animals died of illness in Gulf After the interval of 1 week was imported. It seems that Colonel Sanders of KFC can still use the name for himself
