EMERGENCY UPDATE FOR Taxpayer: You’re likely aware that our efforts to rescue 11 deformed dogs from UPenn’s lab are falling short of our funding goal. Now, our lead investigators have uncovered clear evidence that NIH also paid UPenn to mistreat and kill disabled cats. Without a robust response from our community, our campaign budget will crack under the pressure of fighting on two fronts. Read below and take immediate action or unsubscribe.
The University of Pennsylvania may have started by abusing puppies.
Now, it’s picking on cats:
12/31 DEADLINE >>
Stop Payout #P40OD010939.
Save disabled cats!
Taxpayer, my top investigators recently discovered that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) paid UPenn to cripple and kill 11 puppies.
In 48 hours, the NIH may ram through even more money. Payout #P40OD010939 is up for renewal.
December 31 is a hard government deadline.
However, my team has informed me that puppies aren’t the lab's only victims.
Twenty (!) of our feline friends are in grave danger, too:
Taxpayer, let me be clear about what happened to kittens at UPenn.
Specimens were deliberately bred to get Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), a metabolic disease that causes severe and debilitating symptoms.
UPenn itself says the cats it breeds suffer from spinal cord compression and severe arthritis that “manifests as an inability to get in and out of the litterbox as well as general difficulty in moving.”
If, by some miracle, a kitten makes it to adulthood, she’ll get arthritis that’s so painful, euthanasia becomes necessary as early as age two.
Imagine their awful lives!

The lab cats are named after Hollywood celebrities and famous singers.
UPenn mocks these cats because they’re mentally disabled:
FIGHT THIS >>
12/31 Deadline
Save disabled cats!
Taxpayer… now, are you ready to get really mad?
NIH is paying UPenn to abuse KITTENS.
They’re only four weeks old!

Taxpayer, enough is enough: don’t f*ck with cats!
UPenn is an elite Ivy League school. It’s got a $22 billion endowment. Now, its college professors are robbing us to torment more helpless kittens.
UPenn is also my alma mater.
As an alumnus, I’m PERSONALLY leading the fight to expose and close this lab before the December 31 deadline.
But as the President of White Coat Waste, I’m a realist: a war on two fronts is unsustainable.
BIG PROBLEM: We’re already in the middle of another expensive battle with NIH to stop UPenn’s experiments on 11 deformed dogs, who may soon be mutilated and killed in similar tests.
Right now, we do not have enough money in our war chest to win both campaigns.
If we can’t raise another $100,000 before midnight Tuesday, we may have to choose between saving UPenn’s 11 puppies or UPenn’s 20 kittens.
Taxpayer, that’s not a choice I want to have to make.
Fortunately, some big-hearted friends of felines (AND puppies) are stepping up—and they’re matching gifts to save all animals!

Last time you stepped up, White Coat Waste investigators closed a lethal kitten lab on a very similar NIH-funded campus at the University of California, Davis.
We canceled those experiments and closed its breeding colony—then, we retired over 15 lab cats (just like UPenn’s imprisoned felines).

Taxpayer, you see, I KNOW how to win this type of cat campaign.
I even adopted one of the survivors myself!
If you’re a cat-lover like me... if your pet cat is part of your family like mine is... please dig deep and give whatever you can before the deadline so I can give my alma mater the WCW treatment next.
Send help!
