Thank you for chipping in to stop NIH’s coke hound experiments. As you’ll see
below, I’m confident we’re going to save beagle puppies (and a lot more lab
cats, too).
Taxpayer, White Coat Waste is a Project to:
1. Unite Rs and Ds to cut wasteful spending on animal experiments.
2. End the culture of losing. Establishment groups haven’t shut down any government dog labs in 17 years, or any federal cat labs in 40 years! That's unacceptable.
3. Obliterate the U.S. government’s animal testing business.
Here’s my new op-ed with Rep. Nancy Mace on our bipartisan plan— and progress —for all three goals.
Got two minutes to read it? If not, here’s the punchline: Stop the Money. Stop the Madness!
You Give. We Win. They Survive.
P.S. Taxpayer, I know you hate losing. I know you’re
frustrated with over 40 years of failure for lab animals. This Congresswoman and
I have a plan to win

Written by WCW President Anthony Bellotti and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC)
We took on Anthony Fauci's barbaric beagle abuse and won. Now, we're working to
stop all canine cruelty funded with Americans' hard-earned tax dollars.
We first started fighting dog testing funded by the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) together in 2021, when we exposed a wasteful $1.7 million grant to cut the vocal cords out of 44
beagle puppies so they couldn't bark in the lab and force-feed them massive doses of experimental drugs.
Then, in the summer of 2022, White Coat Waste Project's (WCW) viral #BeagleGate campaign uncovered that Dr. Fauci's division of the NIH—the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID)—was planning to waste another $1.8 million in
taxpayer funds to abuse puppies as young as six months old in a series of five painful and unnecessary experiments. Why? According to the documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act, it
was to test an experimental new drug for seasonal allergies.
We immediately sprang into action and called for the project to be canceled. In addition to the cruelty involved, this taxpayer-funded dog testing was
completely wasteful. The Food and Drug Administration has stated that it "does
not mandate that human drugs be studied in dogs." Even the contractor Fauci was
paying to conduct the dog tests admitted they were unnecessary.
After pressure from us, countless taxpayers, and Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Dr. Fauci gave in and responded, "No experiments using the canine model are being conducted under
this contract."
Even though Fauci is gone from government, abusive animal experimentation
continues. Under "America's Doctor," the NIAID initiated some of the most
depraved testing on pets, and it's still happening.
So, we've just rolled out the Preventing Animal Abuse and Waste (PAAW) Act, a
bipartisan bill to cut funding for the NIH's most painful experiments on dogs
and cats, including harmful tests where pain relief is completely withheld.
Dr. Fauci blessed dozens of barbaric and expensive experiments on pets that
consistently fail to provide cures for humans.
In one NIAID project that started under Fauci and received nearly $10 million in
taxpayer funds, experimenters rounded up abandoned hounds, drugged them, and
locked them in mesh cages. Then, they strapped capsules full of hungry sand
flies to the dogs' ears so the insects could "feed" on the dogs. Documents
obtained by WCW show that the discarded dogs suffered significant pain and
distress in the NIH testing. When the experiment was over, the dogs were killed
and dissected.
In another Fauci-backed experiment slated to run through 2026, hundreds of
beagle puppies as young as four months old are infested with mutant ticks and
many are denied all pain relief as they're bitten alive.
One more active project started under Fauci disturbingly named dozens of beagles
after popular musicians and TV show characters, including Snoop Dogg; Eminem;
Bon Jovi; and Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel from Friends, and then infested them
with hungry, disease-infested black flies for vaccine tests in which they
"vocalized in pain."
The animal abuse isn't limited to labs on U.S. soil either.
Dr. Fauci infamously funded a Tunisian lab that locked beagle puppies' heads in
cages so hungry biting flies could feed on their faces. Disturbing images from
this experiment went viral and prompted outrage from taxpayers and lawmakers of
all political stripes. Fauci and NIH tried to disavow the project after
widespread condemnation, but records obtained by WCW later proved he funded it.
Americans across the political spectrum agree that their tax dollars should not be wasted by bureaucrats to bankroll the
torture of pets in laboratories at home or abroad. The PAAW Act is the solution.
Stop the money. Stop the madness.
