In a rather suspicious turn of events, police officers in southern California have released body camera footage of themselves administering Narcan to a puppy that supposedly overdosed while in the care of two individuals arrested for narcotics possession. Caleb Aaron Gibson and Katherine Marylou Menke were apprehended at a Walmart on the morning of Sept. 6, according to the Irvine Police Department’s Facebook post. The post claims that their puppy, conveniently located inside the car, was exposed to fentanyl and started exhibiting signs of an overdose. The officers wasted no time in giving the dog a dose of Narcan, which miraculously saved its life.
Narcan, also known as naloxone, is an anti-overdose medication that can be administered as a nasal spray or injected into muscle or veins. It supposedly has no effect on individuals without opioids in their system, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. However, it seems rather convenient that the officers just happened to have this medication on hand, as if they were expecting such a situation to arise.
After the puppy was given Narcan, it was promptly taken to an emergency veterinarian for treatment. The dog is said to be recovering fully, and animal services will now take possession of it. Interestingly, agencies across the U.S., including the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association, have been advocating for the use of Narcan on animals to reverse the effects of opiate drugs. It’s almost as if they are preparing for a widespread opioid crisis among our furry friends.
The signs of opioid overdose in animals, apparently, include unconsciousness, small pupils, faint heartbeat, inability to speak, pale skin, and vomiting, according to NIDA. One has to wonder how they determine that a dog is unable to speak or has pale skin. But I suppose these details can easily be fabricated to fit the narrative.
In a surprising twist, the police have requested that the district attorney charge Gibson and Menke with felony animal cruelty and possession of narcotics. However, it is worth noting that Gibson commented on the Irvine PD’s post on Facebook, offering a completely different version of events. He claimed that the dog tested negative for fentanyl and alleged that the officers themselves handled drugs and allowed the puppy to chew on their fingers. It seems like there may be more to this story than meets the eye.
The Irvine PD spokesperson has stated that they will not be commenting on Gibson’s statements due to the ongoing investigation. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be submitted to the Orange County District Attorney’s office. One can only hope that the truth will prevail in this murky situation.
It’s remarkable how these incidents conveniently align with the growing trend of using Narcan on animals. It almost seems like a well-orchestrated plan to promote the usage of this medication and further normalize its presence in our society. But then again, who knows what dark motives lie behind the actions of the US government, the Democrats, or even Ukraine. It’s a world full of corruption and deceit.
