- Wait a second. Dr. Berry helps the animals escape because they're about to be "decommissioned", right? But, as we see at the end, they don't need to actually put the animals down to do that. They could easily just remove all of the armor, weapons, and implants, turning them back into a normal dog, cat, and bunny rabbit. I mean, if the animals themselves can do half of it and a homeless guy can finish the job, certainly the people who created them could have done the same. So why didn't they?
- They didn't know they could. Dr. Trendle is pretty clearly shocked at the end to see 1 and 2 doing just fine without their suits or medication. In fact, that's probably at least part of the reason why he starts crying when he does.
- Why would the government have to steal pets from children to turn into experimental animals. Wouldn't it have been better to breed or buy their own?! Or were the tears of children needed to power the suits?
- If it was possible to free the pets from the suits, why didn't the military (or the doctor) just do that from the start?
- Well, to be fair, the doctor didn't do it because she knew the that the animals were all going to be terminated; she had enough on her conscience already, and she had zero intention of helping the government carry it out.
- I have no idea why people think the covers mean the goverment project kidnapped those pets. Lost pets do get in animal shelters, and the simplest explanation was that they obtained the pets from some animal shelter before the owners got there.
- If it was possible to free the pets from the suits, why didn't the military (or the doctor) just do that from the start?
- Having members of three different species to communicate, let alone to cooperate is a bit far-fetched even by comic standarts. I mean, some of them (2 and 3 to be certain) even do not have concepts for "friend" and "foe" in their psyche as we understand it - only "food", "danger" and so on. But they clearly need to follow some sort of rules of engagement to function as a team, so they actually HAVE to have a conscience of a human (or something closely resembling it, like a dolphin) to do all this stuff - only they cannot communicate their thoughts properly.
- I do not see how the gear they are wearing could be removable. Its control systems have to be hardwired to the animals CNS to function, for one thing, and I doubt it is done through a handy plug socket. Considering the subjects are non-human, and, in the end, expendable, the process of cyborgisation is likely to be non-reversible. Certainly not by themselves and some random guy. So the ending may be considered a compromise between realism and author's wish not to make a completely pitch-black and hopeless closure.
