Yaks stray across Indo-China border: A look at use of animals as spies across world

Indian Army returned 13 yaks and cattle to China that had strayed across the border in Arunachal Pradesh.

On August 31, a herd of yak crossed over from the Chinese territory into Arunachal Pradesh. The transgression by these animals came at a time when 1,500 km away, human soldiers from both India and China were facing off south of the Pangong Lake in Ladakh.
This week, 7 days after the yak herd crossed the border, in a big-hearted humanitarian gesture, they've been handed back to their Chinese owners. For 7 days, the yaks remained under the care of the Indian Army.
While the trust deficit between India and China is likely to have necessitated due diligence on the animals to ensure they were nothing more than innocent livestock, it raises doubts whether these yaks were really just innocent animals, or is there any truth to conspiracy theories that such transgressions are far from innocuous.
Could these yaks have come fitted with spying equipment?

Well for starters, the fact that the yak have been handed back likely means the Indian Army has done its due diligence, but concerns over animals being used for espionage and even covert action is not new and these measures date back decades in the 20th century.






And another Episode in Spy Animals

I heard they were guided by Pigeons.

Next step train holy cow to spy. Check mate! They cannot kill gao matta.

Indians probably squeezed every last drop before returning the dehydrated Yaks.

 

[Signalian]

For 7 days, the yaks remained under the care of the Indian Army.

Could these yaks have come fitted with spying equipment?

If in a week of access of these yaks, IA was unable to find out what the Yaks were fitted with, then there are no bounds to such paranoia.

I already posted this in the stupid and funny thread.

If in a week of access of these yaks, IA was unable to find out what the Yaks were fitted with, then there are no bounds to such paranoia.

They were probably yakking away which probably got the IA suspicious with their keen senses able to interpret suspicious animal behavior from pigeons, monkeys, eagles to now yaks.

Too bad they aren’t that good at picking out suspicious human behavior on the internet among their own ranks but to each their own capacity - if the rest of the world focused on HUMINT the IA has expertise in Counter ANINT activities.

Never really heard of whatever interrogation techniques they use but maybe they do get useful intel from it.

WTF

Is it breeding season? Cause India may lay claim to some Yak inheritance now since land is out of question
