It's an ethical failure I can't undo, Taxpayer.
You probably wouldn't wish it on the worst human criminal…
I participated in taxpayer-funded experiments on dogs

But before you hate me or judge me, let me explain myself. My name is Dr. Larry
Hansen.
I'm a physician and board-certified pathologist. I'm involved with treating
patients suffering from brain tumors, Parkinson's, and severe neurologic
diseases.
I'm also ranked as one of the top 100 Alzheimer's disease researchers worldwide
with over 160 publications in the last 30 years.
Back in medical school, I was instructed to vivisect (from the Latin, "vivi" - meaning, alive, and "scare" - i.e. to cut) and then kill friendly dogs, including a Golden Retriever and a
black Labrador Retriever.
The Golden was the "lucky” one. We only cut her open, observed some basic
physiologic functions, and killed her.
But Taxpayer, the black Labrador Retriever had it FAR
worse...
Week after week, we performed inept and painful procedures on her (bungled
mutilations, really)—over and over and over again.

Then we stuck a needle in her, killed her, and dumped her body in a garbage bag— like trash.
I did it, qualms of conscience notwithstanding, because I was told it was
“necessary.”
Well, it turns out this wasn’t true. It has never been the case that doctors
could better serve our patients if we had killed more dogs.

In my specialty, Alzheimer’s disease, the drug failure rate is actually 99.6
percent, and the use of animals has recently been referred to as “a cliff over which people push bales of money.”
Taxpayer, dogs aren't trash. Although I wish more than
anything that I could, it is not possible to change the past.
But I can do something now... and that’s exactly why I’ve written you this urgent note.
I've teamed up with the White Coat Waste Project to put the final nail in the
Dept of Defense's (DOD) painful dog testing program. Will you join us?

The victims of my ethical failings were a Labrador and a Golden Retriever. That
is unusual.
The canine of choice for the animal experimentation industry is usually the
beagle.

Have you ever held a beagle puppy in your arms, Taxpayer?
I have. They are sweet, trusting, docile, and so eager to please.
They look at you with those big brown eyes, and all they want you to do is love
them.
And that’s exactly why experimenters take advantage of beagles. These qualities make it quite easy for professors and bureaucrats in white lab
coats to torture them.
It's a shameful betrayal of a 10,000-year-old bond built upon mutual love and
loyalty!
Now we have a golden opportunity—but an extremely short deadline—to help save
the sweet beagles known as the “Pentagon Puppies”

Taxpayer, by now, you know all about the torture the
Pentagon Puppies may endure:
* MOUTHS TAPED SHUT: They stuff her mouth with chemicals—and literally TAPE it shut so she can’t
spit them out. Her cheeks become red and swollen.
* MASK UP: A gas mask is strapped to her face. Tubes are shoved down her throat.
* THE YOUNGER, THE BETTER: Some of these puppies are only 7 days old!
* AWFUL: Paralysis, blindness, convulsions, and “beagle pain syndrome.”
* SLOW DEATH: After 13 weeks (!) of misery, dozens of puppies are killed and dissected.
So, when my friend Anthony Bellotti, President and Founder of the White Coat
Waste Project (WCW), invited me to join his Board of Advisors, it felt like I
was being given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to right the wrongs of my past.
The WCW team has done more for dogs in labs than just about any other group out
there.
We have close ties to Republican and Democratic members of Congress. We work
with both sides to cut wasteful spending on the DOD’s dog experiments.
It’s compassionate. It's savvy. It's effective.
It’s how we ended ALL painful dog testing at the Department of Veterans Affairs. That's the first
time in American history that dog testing has been shuttered across an entire
federal agency.
It's how we de-funded ALL NIH experiments in Russia. Not just Putin’s infamous kitten experiments. But
every red cent for every single animal test… across the entire country.
It's how we stopped ALL five of Dr. Fauci's cruel and wasteful hay fever drug experiments on dogs… and
saved the lives of six-month-old beagle puppies.
Taxpayer, I know we can do it again for the Pentagon
Puppies. And I know tonight's campaign is about much more than just these baby
beagles…
And to make matters worse, the DOD has stated themselves that these tests are
pointless. They admit it!
"Animal models have limited relevance to humans and poorly predict effects in
humans."
— U.S. Department of Defense
These are the DOD’s own words. So, the Pentagon Puppies suffer and die for
NOTHING.

Taxpayer, I can never repay the karmic debt I incurred by
needlessly killing those dogs. But I can work with the WCW team to save the
Pentagon Puppies and every other dog from the clutches of our own government.
It's past time we end flawed research and mad “science” that betrays creatures
hopelessly hard-wired to depend upon human kindness and mercy.
What say you, Taxpayer?
Lawrence Hansen, M.D.
Board of Advisors
White Coat Waste Project
P.S. I love beagles and I loathe government waste. So, I'm repenting past
taxpayer-funded dog torture with a secure donation to WCW.
[[link removed]] And you should too! Taxpayer, will you join me?
Thanks – Dr. Hansen
