Taxpayer, it’s cat slaughtering season for taxpayer-funded labs at colleges and universities across the country. 

First, it was the University of Connecticut. Then, it was the University of Pittsburgh. Now, it’s the University of Rochester…. 

We just uncovered unmistakable evidence that Rochester’s white coats are wasting taxpayer money to SLAUGHTER CATS for the sole purpose of HARVESTING THEIR EYEBALLS. 

It’s an Emergency: In the dead of night, Rochester just got permission from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to EXTEND these experiments. That means, as you read this email, they could be removing the eyeballs from more innocent cats! 

Please take immediate action to help us cancel payout #R01EY015836, end all cat testing, and put an end to this taxpayer-funded cat torture! 

End The Eyeball Torture >> 

Taxpayer, unless you and I de-fund this lab, Rochester’s white coats will continue torturing cats in an experiment that would make Victor Frankenstein proud: 

• First, the white coats implant metal posts into his tiny skull. His head is restrained, and he’s forced to stare at a computer screen for hours. 
   
• Then, they kill him and remove his eyeballs … even though he was in perfect health and could have made the sweetest pet. 
   
• Your bill? You’ve paid more than $7 MILLION over the last eighteen years! 

Take Emergency Action >> 

Taxpayer, this isn’t science. This is taxpayer-funded torture.  

White Coat Waste Project is the only group actively campaigning to de-fund this lab. But our budget is stretched incredibly thin right now. 

We simply weren’t financially prepared to take on three new campaigns this month. But we REFUSE to sit idly by as Rochester’s white coats torture more cats.   

So, Taxpayer, if you love cats and you can afford to, please consider digging deep and donating whatever you can to our rapid response fund.

Thanks for your time and consideration, 

Megan Andersen Vice President, Marketing & Analytics White Coat Waste Project
