Dear Taxpayer,

You need to call the NIH Deputy Director today.

🚨CAUGHT: under Nicole Kleinstreuer, the NIH just paid $826,000 to a University of Pennsylvania lab that blinds beagles — and cuts out dogs’ eyes.

Call Nicole Kleinstreuer:
(301) 402-9852 

Nicole Kleinstreuer, NIH’s top animal testing official, told NPR:

"We have no intention of just phasing out animal studies overnight. We know that animal studies are still very important and often scientifically justified."

Taxpayer, does this sound like reform? Is this how you want your tax dollars spent?

Talking Points You Can Use

Here are clear, direct points to mention in your call:

• I oppose NIH’s continued funding of dog and cat experiments — especially your new $826,000 payout to UPenn’s dog blinding lab.
• I learned about this scandal from a White Coat Waste investigation.
• Despite what you’ve said publicly, animal testing is NOT "important" or "scientifically justified."
• Taxpayers like me shouldn’t be forced to pay for this government waste and abuse!
• You must halt all spending on new experiments that abuse dogs and cats.
• You also must cut every dog and cat grant you’ve already funded, even ones you’ve said "predate you." That’s false — and you can cut them now.

Tips Before You Call

✔ Be polite — but be firm and direct (you are calling to oppose her policies).
✔ Speak from the heart — personal messages make an impact.
✔ If you get her voicemail, leave a full message.

Taxpayer, this is a critical moment.

Each call takes only 30 seconds — and makes a real difference for dogs and cats.

Stop the Money. Stop the Madness!
