EMERGENCY UPDATE FOR Taxpayers: Our campaign to save 23 dogs from UPenn’s crippling lab is under siege. But, we just uncovered evidence that the government is about to ram through another deadly experiment on 69 kittens. Without overwhelming grassroots support, our budget will break under the unsustainable weight of a two-front war. Read below to help them or unsubscribe.
 

Taxpayer, there’s been a lousy showing of support for our new campaign.   

Perhaps folks aren’t fired up because the experiment is “for science.” Maybe they’re giving NIH a pass because it’s worshiped by the media? 

Do folks only care about dogs? Maybe people don’t care about the “NIH 69” because the cats are all girls. 

I know you care about these kittens, Taxpayer. 

But the deadline to fully fund our rapid response campaign is in 9 HOURS. Even $6.90 (only one dime per cat!) will help save 69 female kittens.

P.S. At least one lab cat at UPitt was restrained and abused for 399 days. Just imagine her awful life!  

If you read below, you’ll see that a generous WCW supporter is doubling all donations to ensure we stop the looming round of torture. 

Taxpayer—the stakes just got a lot higher.   

A federal funding deadline is in a few hours. 69 kittens will die.

The NIH is poised to renew payout #R01DC018229—that’s $1.5 million more to the University of Pittsburgh’s cat laboratory!

If they get it, sixty-nine more kittens (the “NIH 69”) will suffer HORRIBLY on our tax dime.

Our investigations team just found this lab (and its pending funding deadline). And I’m sick to my stomach. 

  • LITERALLY KITTENS: She’s only 4 months old! 
  • FORCE-FED POISON: First, they pump copper sulfate TOXINS into each kitten’s stomach. 
  • TORTURE BY STROBE EFFECT: They stress her eyes with bright flashing lights. 
  • RESTRAIN THE SPECIMEN: Then, they tether her to a hydraulic table. She’s spun for 2 hours in motion sickness “research”—HUNDREDS of times till she vomits. 
  • 69 CORPSES: Zero survivors. 
  • YOUR TAX BILL: $1.5 million! (Payout #R01DC018229).

Taxpayer, if you’re not enraged yet, you will be when you hear this… 

This sadistic lab chooses female cats because they’re more obedient for long periods of restraint!!! 

It’s a complete waste of taxpayer money and innocent lives.  

This is an actual illustration from the lab, written by the experimenters themselves.

NIH’s funding deadline is MIDNIGHT. So, we must act fast if we want to prevent the torture of 69 sweet kittens. 

But here’s the problem: We’re already in the middle of an expensive battle with UPenn—a different Pennsylvania lab that’s about to get an NIH payout. We’re campaigning to stop UPenn’s crippling experiments on 23 hounds, terriers, and beagles. 

Right now, we don’t have enough money in our war chest to fight on two fronts. 

If we can’t raise another $50,000 before our rapid response deadline, we will have to choose between UPenn’s puppy torture and UPitt’s kitten killing.  

That’s not a choice we want to make. 

Taxpayer, so a big-hearted WCW supporter has agreed to match your donation to support ALL our life-saving campaigns! 

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 $6.90 (only 10 cents per kitten!) and your donation will be DOUBLED. 

Save all the animals 
TAKE ACTION NOW >>

White Coat Waste is a bipartisan campaign to obliterate the U.S. government’s cat and kitten testing business.   

Thanks to your donations, our strategy has worked wonders for our feline friends:  

  • Annihilated USDA's $22 million "Kitten Slaughterhouse"—the largest cat lab in the entire federal government.  
  • Retired all of the USDA’s cat survivors, too.   
  • Shut Down $5 million suffocation experiments at the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) in Los Angeles.  
  • Cut the Cleveland VA's $4.9 million bladder and constipation tests.   
  • De-funded NIH and Putin’s $770,000 kitten de-braining experiments. (And every other animal test in Russia).   

But Taxpayer, if we’re going to save all 69 kittens from restraint, torture, and death, then we need your help. 

Your support will enable us to launch a rapid response rescue mission. We’ll help raise awareness, pressure federal and state policymakers, hold the universities accountable for their crimes, and retire lab survivors to loving homes. 

So please: chip in whatever you can afford before 11:59 pm Monday, and it will be DOUBLED.

Thank you for your compassion and support,
