White Coat Waste Project



OKAY... we know we were aggressive Taxpayer
😏😏😏. But now that you know about these results, don't
you think it was worth it?! I mean, we're definitely inspired.




We never want to see you go.

Taxpayer, you donate to White Coat Waste Project because we're the
ONLY organization that fights against taxpayer-funded animal
testing... and actually wins.

Now we owe you a BIG thank you, Taxpayer... and so do the dogs at
the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA)!

See below. Not only did we hit our September fundraising goal...
but thanks entirely to your support, we ended the VA's MAX-PAIN
procedures on dogs.


DUNZO: this marks the end of Uncle Sam's WORST dog experiments!

And there's more Taxpayer... ABC News (WRIC) is now reporting:

"Since 8News first started exposing the dog testing at the
Richmond VA, the number of experiments has been cut in half."

Taxpayer, to be clear: there's still more work to be done for the
last remaining VA dogs. But as long as you're with us, we won't
quit until we put the final nail in the coffin.

We're inspired by this progress... and you should be too,
Taxpayer!

Because taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay $15+ billion
for wasteful government animal experiments,



Anthony Bellotti
President | Founder
White Coat Waste Project

P.S. Taxpayer, we emailed you once or twice (sorry 😬)... but
it's worth it! That's because 77% of WCW's funding and 100% of
WCW's progress comes from just one source: supporters like you!
And if we don't hit our revenue goal, we can't get the job done
for you... or the VA pups trapped in taxpayer-funded labs. So
Taxpayer, please read your latest progress update below. Onward!

PROGRESS: No More "Maximum Pain" In VA Dog Labs


As White Coat Waste Project (WCW) first exposed during tax season
in 2017, the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Richmond,
Virginia lab was the only facility in the entire federal
government using tax dollars for excruciatingly painful
experiments on dogs without anesthesia.

Now, as first reported by WRIC, documents obtained via the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by WCW reveal that the Richmond
VA has discontinued its "maximum pain" procedures on dogs and
will now provide pain relief.

While there is still more work to be done to end all Richmond VA
dog testing, this marks the end of the worst dog experiments
inside the federal government.

WRIC also reported that dog testing at the Richmond VA has been
cut in half since the beginning of WCW's campaign.

taxpayer-funded dog lab.


The Richmond VA's maximum pain tests involved buying healthy
puppies, causing heart failure by injecting latex into their
arteries or implanting devices, and then forcing them to run on
treadmills to stress their damaged hearts, procedures which
caused pain that was left untreated. From now on, dogs will be
anesthetized during these painful procedures.

The decision follows WCW's aggressive ongoing campaign to end
this waste and abuse and a historic first-in-the-nation law
enacted in Virginia last year by State Senators Bill Stanley and
Glen Sturtevant-with support from WCW-specifically blocking state
taxpayer funds from being used for maximum pain tests on dogs and
cats.

It also follows pressure from veterans and more than 115 U.S.
Congressmembers - led by Reps. Dina Titus (D-NV) and Brian Mast
(R-FL) - supporting the PUPPERS Act to permanently stop all
painful VA dog testing.

The end of the VA's maximum pain procedures on dogs is welcome
progress, but the Richmond VA is still wasting tax dollars on
painful experiments on dogs even though other VA labs have
completely ended their dog experiments following WCW's campaign.

But, all of Richmond's painful dog testing might finally come to
a halt soon: The House of Representatives passed legislation
earlier this year to cut all taxpayer funding for painful VA dog
testing. More action on that is expected later this year.

WCW also has several ongoing lawsuits against the Richmond VA and
Richmond's transit authority related to these wasteful dog
experiments.








Please urge your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bipartisan
PUPPERS Act (HR 1155) to permanently cut federal funding for all
painful VA dog experiments!

To stop taxpayer-funded
animal tests, we must first stop the $15 billion+ in wasteful
government spending.

We find, expose, and
de-fund wasteful government spending on animal experiments. To
change public policy, we unite liberty lovers and animal lovers
