Taxpayer,
Thank you to everyone who donated to support our efforts to cut taxpayer funding
for the National Institutes of Health’s deadly septic shock experiments on
beagle puppies.
The only reason White Coat Waste Project (WCW) shuts down more wasteful
government labs than any other organization is that our grassroots step up every
time we need help.
Our team will never take that for granted, Taxpayer. You’ve invested in us, and I promise to keep you updated on all our progress.
As you know, transparency is a huge problem at animal labs like the NIH. To get
progress updates, we have to work closely with whistleblowers, journalists, and
Members of Congress. We also file Freedom of Information Act requests and
lawsuits. These things take time.
But our investigators are working 24/7, and as soon as we have a new update,
Taxpayer, you’ll be the first to know.
Thanks again for all that you do,
Justin Goodman
Senior Vice President
White Coat Waste Project
P.S. See below – WCW’s #BeagleGate investigation first exposed Dr. Anthony
Fauci’s bad habit of funding painful puppy experiments with our tax dollars, and
we’ve been leading the campaign on and off Capitol Hill ever since. I’ve
enclosed an awesome new op-ed I wrote with Rep. Nancy Mace, a top Waste Warrior
leading the charge to slash government waste and save lives. It’s a quick read!

Defund Fauci’s dog abuse experiments
by Rep. Nancy Mace and Justin Goodman
If you have been sickened about #BeagleGate and the cruel and wasteful
experiments on dogs funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s agency, the National Institute
for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, you are not alone. People across the
political spectrum have been horrified to learn that their tax dollars are being
used to subsidize animal cruelty.
Details of NIAID’s puppy tests uncovered by the White Coat Waste Project are
disturbing. Fauci’s division spent $1.68 million in taxpayer funds on
experiments involving 44 beagle puppies as young as 6 months old. The puppies
were force-fed experimental drugs before being killed and dissected. NIAID has
admitted that the puppies’ vocal cords were barbarically cut in order to prevent
them from barking in the lab.
In other Fauci-funded experiments that have cost taxpayers over $5 million to
date, puppies have been infested with hundreds of ticks by strapping capsules
full of the insects to their bare skin to study an illness that’s already
preventable and treatable. At the end of the tests, the beagles are killed, even
though they’re healthy and could be adopted out.
In yet another project with a price tag of $6 million, puppies have been treated
ostensibly as heartworm factories and killed so the worms can be harvested and
used in other experiments.

These experiments are real, and they are wasteful, cruel, and unnecessary. The
National Institute of Health (NIH) openly admits that over 90% of drugs that
pass animal tests subsequently fail in human trials, either due to toxicity or
because they do not work. The NIH has also stated that “animal models often fail
to provide good ways to mimic disease or predict how drugs will work in humans.”
Fauci’s dog experiments are opposed by a supermajority of taxpayers, too. An
October 2021 national poll of 1,000 taxpayers by Lincoln Park Strategies found
that 66% of respondents (62% of Republicans, 64% of independents, and 71% of
Democrats) want to defund NIAID’s beagle experiments.
NIAID has shown no willingness to reduce their wasteful and cruel animal
experiments on their own — they have actually increased it — so Congress must
step in. This has been done before: Just a few years ago, after public outcry
about dog experiments at the Department of Veterans Affairs reached a fever
pitch, lawmakers directed the VA to phase out experiments on dogs, cats, and
primates by 2025. Now we must do the same to Fauci.
To accomplish this, we are working together to pass new, bipartisan legislation
to end NIAID’s painful dog experiments. The Preventing Animal Abuse and Waste
Act enjoys diverse support, including members of the conservative Freedom Caucus
and the socialist “Squad.” It will prohibit Fauci’s NIAID from conducting or
funding any experiments that cause significant pain or distress to dogs,
including “maximum pain” experiments for which pain relief is deliberately
withheld.
To end NIAID’s beagle experiments, we must first end its wasteful spending. The
bipartisan PAAW Act will save taxpayer dollars, produce better data for
scientists, and save puppies’ lives. It’s a win-win-win.
Nancy Mace represents South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S.
House of Representatives. Justin Goodman is the Senior Vice President of White
Coat Waste Project, a 3-million-member taxpayer watchdog group.
