Taxpayer— WCW recently held a bipartisan Congressional briefing
[[link removed]] to de-fund more animal tests.
Our agenda? EPA, beagles, and more. Here's a progress update below.
WCW Public Policy Team
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[link removed]]
* White Coat Waste Project—with rescued lab beagles in tow—and experts from
Johns Hopkins University and the American Bar Association co-hosted a
Congressional briefing with Reps. Ken Calvert (R-CA) and Earl Blumenauer
(D-OR) to criticize the EPA’s senseless animal testing reversal.
* Over 100 Congressional staffers joined WCW’s event to learn about our work to
end wasteful government animal testing
* Last year, a blockbuster WCW investigation exposed how the EPA has completely
“stripped out” a 2019 plan to end animal tests by 2035 and is killing lab
bunnies it was supposed to retire.
* WCW is uniting Democrats and Republicans in Congress to hold the EPA
accountable for wasting animals’ lives and millions of tax dollars

Last year, a White Coat Waste Project (WCW) blockbuster investigation
[[link removed]] exposed how President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reversed
[[link removed]] the agency’s historic and widely-supported plans to phase out all testing on
mammals by 2035 and retire rabbits from its labs.
Citing WCW’s investigation, in February, a bipartisan coalition of more than three dozen Congressmembers
[[link removed]] led by Lisa McClain (R-MI) and Don Davis (D-NC) demanded answers from the EPA.

ADOPTER–AND WCW ADVISER–LAUREN KELLOGG (LEFT) AND UNO (RIGHT) WITH HIS DAD, JOHN
RAMER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE KINDNESS RANCH ANIMAL SANCTUARY.
Now, joined by rescued lab beagles and experts from Johns Hopkins University and
the American Bar Association, WCW is briefing Congress on why the EPA’s move is
bad for animals, people, and the environment and urging lawmakers to reinstate
the EPA’s animal testing phase-out plan and animal retirement policy.
The May 7 Congressional briefing was also co-hosted by Reps. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), who have both worked with WCW for years to end EPA’s
animal tests.
Our other special guests were lab survivors Beesly
[[link removed]] , who was rescued by WCW adviser Lauren Kellogg
[[link removed]] from a laboratory that tested drugs and chemicals on dogs for agencies like the
EPA, and Uno, the very first dog our friends at Kindness Ranch
[[link removed]] rescued from Envigo. Envigo was the disgraced puppy mill that WCW exposed for selling dogs to the National Institutes of Health’s cruel septic shock lab
[[link removed]] and other labs funded by Dr. Fauci
[[link removed]] .

At the briefing for lawmakers and over 100 of their staffers, WCW Senior Vice
President Justin Goodman detailed how in 2018 we first documented
[[link removed]] that the EPA abuses 20,000 animals annually for wasteful in-house tests, like
making animals inhale diesel exhaust, rallied bipartisan Congressional support
[[link removed]] to stop it and worked with former EPA Administrator (and current WCW advisor)
Andrew Wheeler to roll out the historic phase-out plan
[[link removed]] back in 2019.
WCW also explained how, since the EPA killed its phase-out plan, the agency’s
recent wasteful animal testing involves cruelly forcing animals
[[link removed]] to breathe smoke from handguns, rifles, and lab-simulated wildfires.

JHU’s Dr. Paul Locke
[[link removed]] and the ABA’s Rebecca Critser
[[link removed]] discussed the scientific and public health benefits of moving away from
wasteful EPA animal testing and the importance of accountability and
transparency about these efforts.
