Los Angeles, CA - Authorities are warning parents to be on the lookout for phony pets that may be made out of fentanyl after an empty animal carrier testing positive for the drug was seized at Los Angeles International Airport earlier this week.

"When the narcotics dog alerted us to the carrier, my heart immediately sank because I knew just what the implications were," LAPD Corporal Rick Stank explained. "The thought of a child overdosing because they wanted to pet a cute puppy or kitten. It's just...it's just...evil. It's pure evil."
In addition to fentanyl being made to look like candy, today's modern drug dealers could now be using the latest advances in CRISPR gene editing to create popular household pets that secrete large amounts of the highly addictive drug in an effort to target young children. Corporal Stank, a 30-year veteran of the LAPD Narcotics Division, is asking parents to check all animals before letting their child touch them. "Fentanyl is extremely potent, so it doesn't take much to cause harm. Don't assume any pet is safe, even smaller animals like chinchillas, gerbils, or hermit crabs. Especially chinchillas."
