Taxpayer, legacy “animal rights” groups praised Director
Bhattacharya and Nicole Kleinstreuer—even as NIH funded brand new labs.

White Coat Waste blew the whistle—and we just forced NIH to commit
[[link removed]] to phasing out dog and cat testing.

NIH didn’t change its mind.
Taxpayer, you changed it for them.

White Coat Waste Forces NIH to Phase Out Dog and Cat Labs

* WCW FORCED THE PHASE-OUT. After months of excuses, delays, and defending animal labs, NIH now says it
will phase out dog and cat testing—because White Coat Waste forced them to.
* THE TIMELINE IS DECISIVE . Just 48 hours after WCW rallied Rep. Paul Gosar and 10 other lawmakers to
grill NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya with our exclusive investigations, NIH
reversed course.
* KLEINSTREUER DEFENDED ANIMAL TESTING. In June, she told NPR there was “no intention” to phase out the experiments
“overnight”—because they’re “very important and often scientifically
justified.” On July 4, she stood by the policy and told the public to keep
waiting.
* WCW EXPOSED BHATTACHARYA’S #BEAGLEGATE . We revealed how NIH renewed and authorized Fauci-era dog and cat
experiments—and funded brand new ones under Bhattacharya. Legacy “animal
rights” groups stayed silent while NIH dug in. Then they kept praising
Kleinstreuer.
* WCW LAUNCHED A FULL-SCALE BLITZ. We hit NIH with 4 million targeted ads. Then we unleashed 243,486 calls and
emails from taxpayers and pet owners demanding an immediate phase-out. NIH
was flooded—and surrendered.
* BHATTACHARYA BLINKED. KLEINSTREUER CAVED. NIH didn’t change its mind. WCW and our supporters changed it for them.

Just 48 hours after Congress grilled NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya
[[link removed]] using exclusive White Coat Waste investigations, the NIH now says it will phase out dog and cat labs
[[link removed]] —a stunning reversal triggered by pressure from our relentless campaign
[[link removed]] to protect pets from government abuse.


[[link removed]]


[[link removed]]

White Coat Waste is encouraged that NIH has finally committed
[[link removed]] to phasing out dog and cat labs—and catching up to other Trump agency heads
already cutting wasteful pet abuse funding worldwide.

But it shouldn’t have taken our 90-day blitz of 4 million targeted ads, 243,486
calls and emails, and direct pressure from Congress to force Bhattacharya’s
hand.

Timeline of a Takedown: Bhattacharya Blinked. Kleinstreuer Caved.

WCW’s pressure campaign made them do it—and the timeline proves it.

📆 DATE 🎯 WCW ACTION 4/15/25 – Ongoing On Tax Day, WCW exposes
[[link removed]] how NIH—under Bhattacharya—is still funding Fauci-era dog and cat experiments. Laura Loomer
[[link removed]] amplifies our findings. WCW rallies Congress to defund the labs. 6/4/25 Kleinstreuer defends NIH animal testing on NPR , saying there’s “no intention” to phase out animal studies “overnight”—and
that they remain “very important and often scientifically justified.” 6/16/25 Gateway Pundit runs story
[[link removed]] exposing Kleinstreuer’s public justification for delaying NIH’s phaseout—based
on WCW’s investigations. 6/18 – 6/26/25 Legacy animal rights groups rush to defend Kleinstreuer—while ignoring WCW’s
proof of ongoing NIH-funded dog and cat labs. 6/25/25 Kleinstreuer doubles down
[[link removed]] on social media, insists animal lab shutdowns must wait for alternatives. WCW
leaders challenge
[[link removed]] her directly: Why is NIH is funding new dog labs
[[link removed]] ? 6/27/25 Gateway Pundit runs second exposé
[[link removed]] based on WCW’s investigation. The story goes viral. 6/30/25 WCW launches the “Hold Her Accountable” petition—mobilizing 243,486 emails to
Secretary RFK demanding action. 7/4/25 Kleinstreuer insists NIH’s phaseout delay is an “unfortunate truth”. Legacy
group donors attack WCW for criticizing her. We respond with 4 million targeted
ads slamming NIH. 7/7/25 FDA and NIH hold a joint workshop on reducing animal testing. Kleinstreuer
announces vague grant proposal changes—but no lab cuts and says nothing about dog and cat labs. WCW supporters flood NIH with phone calls. 7/8/25 Rep. Paul Gosar and 10 lawmakers cite WCW’s findings in a letter
[[link removed]] demanding Bhattacharya cut dog and cat lab funding—“with considerable urgency.”
Lara Trump amplifies the campaign on social media. 7/10/25 WCW Victory: NIH says it will phase out dog and cat testing.

[[link removed]] This dramatic about-face, triggered by White Coat Waste’s campaign, follows
weeks of NIH Deputy Director Nicole Kleinstreuer defiantly doubling down on
funding animal labs.


[[link removed]]

She told NPR
[[link removed]] she had “no intention of just phasing out animal studies overnight.” Then, as
recently as July 4, Kleinstreuer insisted in a social media post responding to
White Coat Waste’s campaign that it’s an “unfortunate truth” that animals and
taxpayers must wait indefinitely for alternatives.

Astonishingly, legacy animal rights groups
[[link removed]] rushed to applaud and defend her
[[link removed]] while attacking us for demanding action and accountability from the
government’s single largest funder of animal testing.


[[link removed]]
On June 27, this Gateway Pundit story—covering WCW’s investigation and
Kleinstreuer’s refusal to phase out animal testing overnight—went viral.

Now, Bhattacharya and Kleinstreuer are playing the blame game
[[link removed]] and claiming legal constraints and past NIH leaders are the reasons they
haven’t shut down dog and cat labs.

But the truth is—as our exclusive investigation has documented—that NIH has renewed Fauci-era funding for these labs under Bhattacharya’s watch. The
Bhattacharya-Kleinstreuer NIH has also bankrolled
[[link removed]] millions in brand new dog experiments, despite having full authority to cut
active grants and prohibit new ones. That’s exactly what other Trump-aligned
agencies are already doing—in direct coordination with White Coat Waste
campaigns.


[[link removed]]
On June 30, WCW launched this petition. We unleashed over 243,486 emails and
calls from our members to demand NIH cut dog and cat tests— right now.

For months, we’ve told Bhattacharya and other NIH officials the truth: if dogs
and cats are forced to wait for “alternatives”—ones that don’t exist and often
aren’t necessary—they’ll be waiting forever.


[[link removed]] On July 4, after Kleinstreuer defiantly doubled down, WCW responded with 4
million targeted ads—forcing NIH to feel the heat.

Animals can’t wait. We won’t either


[[link removed]]
On July 7, WCW started flooding the NIH with phone calls from outraged taxpayers
and pet owners across the country.

Make no mistake: the devil is in the (missing) details. NIH may have committed
to a phase out of dog and cat testing, but it still hasn’t set a timeline or
issued a spending freeze.

Meanwhile, working with White Coat Waste, Trump’s Pentagon cut millions in funding for cruel cat experiments
[[link removed]] virtually overnight and banned all Navy-funded dog and cat testing
[[link removed]] , and the EPA is shutting down its animal labs
[[link removed]] and adopting out the survivors. The NIH can do it right now too.


[[link removed]]
On July 8, WCW rallied Rep. Paul Gosar and ten more lawmakers to confront the
NIH. 48 hours later, Bhattacharya blinked.

This NIH campaign has been in the works at White Coat Waste for nearly a decade,
since we exposed the agency’s in-house dog testing labs in our very first investigation
[[link removed]] in 2016.


[[link removed]]

From Tunisia’s sand flies to de-barked dogs in taxpayer-funded labs, White Coat
Waste is the first and only watchdog that uncovered all of Dr. Fauci’s beagle experiments
[[link removed]] —and Fauci’s Wuhan lab leak funding
[[link removed]] —the two biggest scandals in NIH history. We were also the first organization
[[link removed]] to call on President Trump
[[link removed]] —and NIH—to slash funding specifically for dog and cat labs, years before any
other group.

Since 2016, White Coat Waste has blown the whistle on every single high-profile
pet abuse scandal funded by NIH: cat-on-treadmill tests
[[link removed]] in Russia, cocaine-addicted
[[link removed]] puppies, the Envigo-NIH pipeline
[[link removed]] , Fauci’s kitten experiments
[[link removed]] at UC-Davis, and NIH’s $2 billion foreign spending spree
[[link removed]] . Our investigations helped drive Congress, the White House, and now NIH itself
to reverse course. Most recently, our nine-year effort helped President Trump to
shut down the NIH’s last in-house beagle lab
[[link removed]] .
