A Russian tech firm, Neiry, is developing 'cyborg' animals, including pigeons, cows, and rats, which can be remotely controlled. Concerns have been raised about their potential use in warfare to spread diseases, particularly given the company's links to Kremlin funding.

Neiry claims these 'bio-drones' could serve civilian purposes, but experts warn they could be weaponized to carry biochemical agents into enemy territory. Ethical implications of using neural implants to control animals are also highlighted.
