From the website:

The animals lying on the floor of a building at Camp Aachen on Wednesday were clearly not alive. A dog’s stomach had been slit open, bones stuck out of the chest of a nearby goat and the lifeless carcass of a sheep lay on the linoleum.

Closer inspection revealed the beasts to be dummies made of painted fabric and foam. …

John Krollpfeiffer, chief of the support center, said the animals on display were prototypes, part of a range of objects the center is making to mimic things insurgents use to hide improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan.
