Has anyone ever strapped a Command Detonated Mine onto a randomly
(or partially randomly) moving object (ie, animal)? [I would
never use my rabbits for this, though]. Even a vehicle. Car bomb,
anyone?

Didn't the US Navy use dolphins for a similar purpose in the 50s,
or is that just anti-US apocrypha? 

Aside from the obvious ethical issues, wouldn't this be a handy
way to send someone a nice surprise? I can see human beings doing
this to non-indigenous life forms with nary a quibble.

What about KV prisoner exchanges with subcutaneous CDMs? Or even
nukes?

Hmmm, there are the WWII Russian dogs with satchel charges attached...
They were discontinued since they had trained with Russian equipment
and the German tanks had different sounds and smells, so the dogs would
keep coming back to the Russian lines to find familiar scents and
sounds...

Talk about boomerangs...
