Know what I’m most thankful for this Thanksgiving? You, Taxpayer.
Know who else is thankful? Dogs. Let me explain…
White Coat Waste is a bipartisan mission to:
1. UNITE Rs and Ds to cut wasteful spending on dog experiments.
2. CLOSE the U.S. government’s dog testing business.
3. END the culture of losing. Establishment animal rights groups haven’t shut down
any federal dog labs since 2007.

Taxpayer, thanks to your support, we run winning
campaigns for dogs:
* SAVED 6-mo.-old beagle puppies after stopping Dr. Fauci’s $1.8M drug tests.
* SHUT DOWN all Veterans Affairs dog labs—the most painful dog labs in the entire
government.
* CUT NIH’s in-house dog testing by 95%.
That's a lot to be thankful for. My recent op-ed with Congressman Steube (see
below) has even more bipartisan progress for pups.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Justin Goodman

Progress To Protect Dogs From Taxpayer-Funded Abuse
Orginally published by Tampa Free Press
[[link removed]] | Written by Rep. Greg Steube and Justin Goodman
From Dr. Fauci’s biting fly experiments on beagles at home
[[link removed]] and abroad
[[link removed]] to de-barking puppies
[[link removed]] and injecting them with drugs including cocaine
[[link removed]] , we’ve uncovered how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) wastes more money
on cruel dog testing
[[link removed]] than any other government agency.
A 2022 national poll found that 73% of taxpayers across all parties—Republicans,
Democrats and Independents—want to cut funding for the NIH’s cruelty to canines.
Fortunately, help is on the way: we’re working together to pass a bold
bipartisan bill called the Protecting Dogs Subjected to Experiments Act
[[link removed]] to fully defund all of NIH’s testing on dogs.
Last year, following an investigation by White Coat Waste Project and scrutiny
from Republicans in Congress, Dr. Fauci canceled a misguided plan
[[link removed]] to waste nearly $2 million on a series of five experiments on dogs to test a new seasonal allergy drug. He admitted in a letter to Congress that
the use of dogs, which his own team had proposed, was completely unnecessary.
Not only are there alternatives to dog testing available, but the NIH admits
that drugs that pass dog and other animal tests fail to translate to people over
95 percent of the time, wasting billions of dollars, years of research, and countless canines’ lives
[[link removed]] .
Yet, the problem persists. Through years of bipartisan fact-finding investigations
[[link removed]] and open records lawsuits
[[link removed]] , we’ve been collaborating to pry details from the NIH about its
taxpayer-funded dog tests inside the agency’s own Beltway labs and external ones
that it funds.
For instance, for years, Dr. Fauci’s in-house lab at the NIH strapped capsules
full of biting sandflies to beagles’ bare skin in painful experiments. Fauci’s
team intentionally withheld pain relief from the dogs. WCW obtained the documents and the disturbing pictures to prove it
[[link removed]] via the Freedom of Information Act.
Those tests have since been stopped , but last year, we discovered that another NIH in-house lab bought beagles from the disgraced Envigo puppy mill
[[link removed]] that was shut down by federal authorities for widescale abuses. Some of those
survivors from that hellhole ended up being adopted out to loving homes in Sarasota County
[[link removed]] .
In the NIH’s decades-old—and ongoing—in-house “septic shock” tests paid for with
your tax dollars, dozens of puppies’ throats are cut open and infectious
bacteria are forced directly into the dogs’ lungs to cause pneumonia.
Experimenters then bleed out the dogs, give them transfusions, and wait to see
how long the dogs can survive. Any dog that survives longer than 96 hours is
then killed.
The Protecting Dogs Subjected to Experiments Act
[[link removed]] would finally cut funding for this disgusting waste of taxpayer dollars, which
is the only dog experiment left inside the NIH’s own labs. Following our efforts, the NIH’s in-house puppy abuse has plummeted by 95% over
the past five years from a reported 696 dogs abused in 2018 to just 38 in 2022. We’re fighting to zero it out.
Unfortunately, the NIH is still wasting tens of millions of dollars on dog
experimentation outside of federal facilities. These tests include infesting beagle puppies with hundreds of ticks ,
[[link removed]] breeding hundreds of beagles and other dogs to suffer from bleeding disorders ,
[[link removed]] and rounding up abandoned hounds and infesting them with insects.

The NIH is lagging far behind other agencies on stopping taxpayer-funded canine
cruelty, too. During the Trump Administration, the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) rightfully came under fire from White Coat Waste Project
[[link removed]] (WCW), veterans
[[link removed]] , Florida lawmakers, and even the Trump family
[[link removed]] because it was wasting tax dollars to drill holes into dogs’ skulls, collapse
their lungs, inject them with methamphetamines and give puppies heart attacks.
With pressure from Congress and under President Donald Trump’s leadership
[[link removed]] , the VA promised to phase out its use of puppies and dogs in experiments. Last
year, the VA ended its last active painful dog experiments
[[link removed]] .
Unfortunately, the Biden Administration’s NIH hasn’t made a commitment to end
its despicable dog testing. Quite the opposite: it’s doubled down on recklessly
funding outdated and inefficient dog tests. So, we’re rallying Congress to pass
the Protecting Dogs Subjected to Experiments Act
[[link removed]] to save man’s best friend, cut NIH’s wasteful spending, and expedite medical
progress.
Stop the money. Stop the madness!
