Big Win for Taxpayer

White Coat Waste has now cut every single known dog and cat laboratory across
the entire U.S. military.

First: WCW got Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to close a $10 million Navy-funded
lab. It electro-shocked cats and shoved marbles up their rectums in constipation
experiments.

Then: Ten days later, the U.S. Navy banned all dog and cat testing—and the Navy explicitly credited WCW.

NOW: WCW made the Army cut even more dog and cat labs… all around the world!

Days after WCW uncovered over $57 million
[[link removed]] in U.S. Army-funded labs— blasting cats with loud noises, poisoning beagles, detaching dogs’ retinas, and
worse —Hegseth is cutting the contracts.

And Hegseth specifically credits WCW.

Thanks for making it happen, Taxpayer.

You Give. We Win. They Survive.

Justin Goodman
Senior Vice President
White Coat WasteP.S. Taxpayer, no other animal protection organization
worked with us on this Army campaign. And no legacy group has shut down a
government dog lab in nearly 20 years, or a federal feline lab in at least 40
years. Here’s how you and WCW ended the culture of losing.

WCW VICTORY! Pentagon Cuts Millions in Dog and Cat Labs, Credits WCW
Investigation

* Instant Impact : Days after an exclusive White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation uncovered over $57 million in active Pentagon-funded dog and cat experiments worldwide, Trump’s Defense
Department is cutting the multi-million-dollar contracts and specifically
crediting WCW for bringing them to light.
* Pentagon Promises Kept : Last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Laura Loomer that the DOD
was reviewing the dog and cat lab contracts exposed by WCW’s investigation
and is “Committed to this.”
* In just three months : The DOD has canceled a $10 million cat lab (the constipation experiments uncovered by WCW), the U.S. Navy banned all dog and cat testing (explicitly crediting WCW), the Trump Administration shut down a DOD contract to drug 300 beagles per week in China, and now Hegseth has cut millions in other dog and cat labs around the world— all exposed by WCW .
* Directly following WCW’s investigations and lobbying, the House and Senate also just advanced 2026 Defense spending bills that cut
funding for the DOD’s dog and cat labs in the U.S., China, and other foreign
countries.
* WCW was the only group to uncover, investigate, and directly target these experiments— the very abuse that prompted Hegseth’s action . Legacy animal groups ignored Pentagon dog and cat testing for decades.
* Legacy groups launched no investigations, filed no lawsuits, and mounted no
lobbying to stop the dog and cat experiments that ultimately triggered these cuts .
* WCW’s unprecedented coalition—including Laura Loomer , Elon Musk , Rep. Nancy Mace, military veterans, and dozens of bipartisan lawmakers—delivered the knockout
pressure that forced the win.
* Hegseth’s cuts deliver WCW’s top demand to the Trump Administration: Defund every last dog and cat lab.
* Following our wins at the Army and Navy, WCW has now cut every single known dog and cat laboratory across the entire
U.S. military.


[[link removed]] Following a years-long White Coat Waste campaign, and just days after an exclusive new White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation
[[link removed]] uncovered over $57 million in active Army and other Pentagon-funded dog and cat
experiments worldwide, Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has cut millions in contracts for the cruel labs we exposed and specifically
credited WCW
[[link removed]] for bringing them to his attention.


[[link removed]]

The fifteen ongoing DOD-funded experiments unearthed by WCW included implanting
electrodes in cats’ heads and blasting them with loud noises, poisoning beagles
with experimental drugs, intentionally detaching dogs’ retinas, slicing dogs’
muscles, and other barbaric abuses in laboratories in the U.S., Canada, Italy,
and Australia.


[[link removed]]

It is being reported that 10 of the contracts exposed by WCW have been cut, and
the others will be phased out. We are awaiting more details from the DOD.


[[link removed]]

Immediately following our investigation’s release last week, Defense Secretary
Pete Hegseth told Laura Loomer that the DOD was reviewing the dog and cat lab
contracts exposed by WCW’s investigation and is “Committed to this.”


[[link removed]]

The DOD’s animal lab cuts also follow Sec. Hegseth’s promise to Rep. Nancy Mace
(R-SC) last month during a DOD budget hearing–where WCW’s investigations were
referenced–that his agency would continue to cut wasteful spending on dog and
cat labs.


[[link removed]]

Last month, WCW and Laura Loomer met with Rep. Mace–who serves on the House
Armed Services Committee–to strategize on defunding the DOD’s experiments on
kittens and puppies.


[[link removed]]
On June 5, 2025, WCW Senior Vice President Justin Goodman and Laura Loomer met
with Rep. Nancy Mace. Our agenda? End dog and cat testing at the DOD.

This past week, following WCW lobbying and leadership from Rep. Mace and Senator
Joni Ernst, Congress also advanced 2026 Pentagon budget bills that would permanently cut funding for painful experiments on dogs and cats
[[link removed]] .

A Chain Reaction WCW Set in Motion

The Pentagon’s new dog and cat lab cuts follow a rapid series of DOD shutdowns
triggered by WCW campaigns:

* May 17: The DOD canceled $10 million Navy-funded cat experiments
[[link removed]] where cats had marbles rammed into their rectums—first exposed by a WCW FOIA
lawsuit.
* May 27: Navy Secretary Phelan enacted a Navy-wide ban
[[link removed]] on all dog and cat testing—citing WCW’s investigation and campaign.
* May 29: The Trump Administration terminated a DOD-funded contract
[[link removed]] to drug 300 beagles per week in China—first uncovered by WCW.


[[link removed]]

WCW’s investigations were the first—and only—to uncover how Navy, Army
[[link removed]] , and other DOD branches wasted tens of millions to cripple kittens
[[link removed]] and poison puppies
[[link removed]] .

These are actual photos of the Navy’s marble-in-rectum cat experiments —
uncovered by WCW and cited by Hegseth

Our congressional testimony
[[link removed]] in February 2025—and our spotlight in Sen. Rand Paul’s December 2024 Festivus Report
[[link removed]] —helped ignite the pressure that forced these shutdowns.

The Navy Secretary’s spokesperson, Kristina Wong, explicitly credited WCW’s
exposé as the reason the ban was enacted .

WCW’s Campaign: The Only One That Mattered

Despite pro-taxpayer leadership in government, WCW uncovered lingering animal
abuse buried in Pentagon contracts—and forced immediate action.


[[link removed]]

On May 12, 2025, Laura Loomer posted WCW’s dog and cat testing target list
(which we sent to DOGE as early as January) and called on Hegseth to cut the
funding.

Musk amplified WCW’s investigation, tweeting: “ Will ask @DOGE to put an end to animal cruelty .”


[[link removed]]

The Pentagon listened—and acted.

But WCW’s campaign didn’t start on social media. It started years earlier:

* November 2023: WCW sued
[[link removed]] the DOD.
* June 2024: WCW passed bipartisan House legislation
[[link removed]] —the first-ever vote to defund
[[link removed]] the Pentagon’s cat abuse.
* December 2024: WCW exposés sparked widespread media
[[link removed]] coverage.
* February 2025: WCW testified in the House Oversight Committee about the DOD’s cat labs.
* October 2024 – May 2025: WCW united a big tent coalition for cats: Elon Musk
[[link removed]] , Laura Loomer
[[link removed]] , Sen. Rand Paul
[[link removed]] (R-KY), DOGE Senate Caucus Chair Joni Ernst
[[link removed]] (R-IA), Reps. Dina Titus (D-NV) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), military veterans
[[link removed]] , and Ben & Jerry’s
[[link removed]] progressive co-founder.
* May 2024 – July 2025: WCW lobbied Congress for cuts and rallied over a million grassroots
supporters to join the fight—donating, signing petitions, and demanding
action.

FROM FOIAs TO FLOOR VOTES, WCW DIDN'T JUST FIGHT HARD—WE FOUGHT SMART. EVERY
MOVE WAS DESIGNED TO FORCE THE PENTAGON'S HAND.

RESULT: The Pentagon is CUTTING all testing on dogs and cats.


[[link removed]]

Republican and Democratic lawmakers all concur: WCW led. WCW won. WCW ended it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Legacy Groups Sat It Out—Then Tried to Claim Credit

After the Navy ban, legacy animal groups issued statements and letters to
Hegseth— two days too late . None were cited by the Pentagon, by lawmakers, or by media covering the
shutdowns.

They launched no relevant investigations.
Filed no relevant lawsuits.
And did no lobbying to stop the dog and cat experiments that triggered the ban.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Result: DOD-Wide Defund

From oversight hearings to agency decisions, every step in this chain cites WCW as the driver — not a broader shift to alternatives, not a legacy animal rights coalition.

Just receipts . Just results . Just WCW .


[[link removed]]

Our #1 priority for Trump’s new administration
[[link removed]] is defunding dog and cat testing.

It’s a seismic message to every bureaucrat still funding abuse: WCW isn’t
stopping. We’re shutting it all down.
