EMERGENCY UPDATE FOR Taxpayer: By now, you know that our campaign to save the Stokes 7 lab kittens is under siege. However, our top investigators just uncovered unmistakable evidence that NIH may ram through funding for a separate deadly experiment on 25 cats. Without an overwhelming grassroots response, our campaign budget will break under the unsustainable weight of fighting a two-front war. Read below and take immediate action!

Dear Taxpayer,
I’m writing you today because 25 kittens may soon undergo extremely painful electric-shock experiments in a Duke University laboratory funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Here’s what we know about the Duke 25:
- There are 13 boys.
- There are 12 girls.
- There will be 0 survivors.
We also know that after these 25 cats get their lunchtime helping of electricity, they might not even get a drink of water.
According to the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, Duke “failed to administer the afternoon fluid provision.” Translation: Duke’s negligent white coats couldn’t be bothered to let the victims have a sip.
But Taxpayer, there is still (a little) time to save the Duke 25. And that’s where you become a critical part of this effort.
If we can rally Congress to block payout #5K12DK100024 before the government’s July 31st funding deadline, we can help prevent the Duke 25 from being shocked and slaughtered. We can also fight to end all cat experiments and help ensure the survivors are adopted out to taxpayers.

P.S. Taxpayer, sadly, fundraising for the Duke 25 is falling far below our goal. I hope you’ll read Mackie’s email below for the details. Then, I hope you’ll consider pitching in just $5 (only 20¢ per kitten) — or as much as you can afford — to help save 25 small lab cats before tonight’s death sentence?
Taxpayer – the government isn’t done slaughtering kittens.
Another 25 cats’ lives are on the line! And the deadline to save them from TORTURE, FEAR, and DEATH is next Monday, July 31.
Taxpayer, first, it’s the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA). Now, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is following suit.
In less than five days, NIH may renew funding for Duke University’s sick ELECTRIC-SHOCK EXPERIMENTS.
If they get away with it, 25 more cats – the “Duke 25” – will die painfully on our tax dime!
Screenshot from the NIH's website, where our government tracks payout information for taxpayer-funded animal experiments.
Taxpayer, my research team just found this lab (and its looming funding deadline) on the NIH's website, and my stomach is in knots.
Unless we take immediate action, here’s what may happen to the “Duke 25” cats:
- TRACHEOTOMY: First, the white coats will puncture holes into the cat’s throat. She’ll no longer be able to breathe on her own, and will be hooked up to a respirator.
- PAINFUL SURGERY: Next, they will surgically implant electrodes into her small, feeble body.
- ELECTRIC SHOCKS: Then, the experimenters will send electric shocks to her internal organs. She will lose all control of her bowels.
- ABUSIVE NEGLIGENCE: Duke’s negligent white coats will likely "forget” to give her water. It wouldn’t be the first time they were caught depriving animals of basic care.
- NO SURVIVORS: If she doesn’t die from a botched surgery, negligence or abuse, the white coats will kill and dissect her anyway... it’s standard operating procedure.
- YOUR BILL: Over $6 MILLION to date – and in less than five days, they’re planning to take even MORE of your money.
Screenshot from the experiment description, written by the white coats themselves!
Taxpayer, it gets worse (if that’s even possible.)
If payout #5K12DK100024 gets renewed, our tax dollars won’t only be funding the torture and slaughter of 25 more kitties...
Part of our money will be used to “train” the next generation of animal experimenters, who will learn to slice open innocent cats’ throats and bodies, implant them with electrodes that produce painful electrical shocks, and kill them.
You read that right.
These government white coats-in-training are TAUGHT to conduct PAINFUL EXPERIMENTS on helpless animals as part of a “mentorship” program at Duke University... and we’ve been paying for it for the last 10 years!
Duke University ENCOURAGES animal experiments, according to their own website! Now they want us to fund the training of the next generation of animal abusers disguised in white coats.
Taxpayer, enough is enough:
We MUST cut funding for payout #5K12DK100024 NOW. 25 lives depend on it!
The funding deadline is NEXT MONDAY, so we have to act fast if we want to prevent the torture of the "Duke 25”!
But here’s the problem: As you probably know by now, we’re already in the middle of an ugly battle with the VA to block the purchase of 7 lab kittens – the “Stokes 7” – that they plan to mutilate in similar tests.
Right now, we don’t have enough money in our war chest to fight on two fronts.
If we can’t raise another $30,000 before midnight Monday, we will have to choose between saving the Stokes 7 kittens, or the Duke 25 cats.
Taxpayer, that’s not a choice I want to have to make.
If you’re a cat-lover like me... if your pet cat is part of your family like mine is... I beg you to dig deep and give whatever you can afford so we don’t have to choose.
Block Payout #5K12DK100024. Save 32 lab cats.
7/31 GOVERNMENT DEADLINE: Taxpayer, with your help before the government’s funding deadline, I know we can win BOTH campaigns. We can save the Stokes 7 AND the Duke 25!
Here's why: White Coat Waste Project (WCW) is the leader in ENDING wasteful animal experiments.
We’ve shut down nearly EVERY cat experiment inside the entire federal government.
But Taxpayer, if we’re going to save ALL 32 kittens from botched surgeries, electric-shock experiments, and near-certain death – all on YOUR dime – then we need your help.
So please, chip in whatever you can afford today.
You give. We win. They survive.
