#WINNING: DOD-Funded Animal Experimenters Must Disclose Spending

Despite what Lysol advertisements may tell you, nothing disinfects like
sunlight. To this end, for years, we have been working
[[link removed]] to pass the COST Act
[[link removed]] and ensure anyone wasting your tax dollars on animal experiments discloses how
much they’re spending. We just scored a major win in the “war on waste.”

Thanks to advocacy from countless WCW advocates and leadership from WCW Waste
Warrior awardee Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA)
[[link removed]] , the Senate Armed Services Committee just passed legislation
[[link removed]] requiring anyone receiving grant funding from the Department of Defense to
publicly disclose any and all taxpayer dollars spent on wasteful animal
experiments and other projects . The bill now moves to the full Senate for a vote.

See, the DOD doesn’t want you to know how much it wasted on recent projects like
addicting animals to cocaine and alcohol, feeding animals high-fat diets to make
them obese, and forcing pigs to run on treadmills.

The language secured by Sen. Ernst in the 2021 defense spending bill–also known
as the National Defense Authorization Act–closely mirrors her COST Act,
[[link removed]] which would apply this important spending disclosure measure across all
government agencies.

Transparency is the only way to hold federal agencies and taxpayer-funded animal
experimenters accountable for wasting money and abusing animals.

We will keep you posted on developments as the legislation moves through
Congress.

Meantime, please tell Congress to pass the COST Act (S.807) to put a public
price tag on all taxpayer-funded animal experiments.

Because taxpayers have a right to know who’s paying the bills… and who’s cashing
the checks
