White Coat Waste Project



Thank you for your donation, Taxpayer! Want to see what
we did with it? I promise it was worth EVERY penny 🙂. You
see, I started this organization on my own dime. But I couldn't
afford to keep doing it alone.















Taxpayer, THANK YOU.

Because of your generous financial support, we didn't just meet
our end-of-year budget before the deadline... we slightly
exceeded it!

Several years ago, I started White Coat Waste Project (WCW) from
scratch and funded it out of my own pocket. But I couldn't
afford to keep doing it alone.

Since then, over 2 million animal lovers and liberty lovers like
you have stepped up, Taxpayer.

Now our movement has grown into something spectacular... it's a
full-scale taxpayer revolt against government animal testing!

Taxpayer, see for yourself. Here's how your investment in WCW made
history in 2019:







Following WCW's exposé and year-long campaign against the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's "Kitten Slaughterhouse" - which fed
cat and dog meat to kittens among other horrors - the USDA shut
down the project that wasted $22 million over 37 years and killed
an estimated 3,000 healthy kittens.

The surviving cats were adopted out and two of them, Petite and
Delilah (pictured above), were able to visit the lawmakers that
worked with WCW to end the experiments.





Following WCW's "EPA Sucks" campaign, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) announced a historic plan to phase out
all testing on mammals by 2035, with a major reduction by 2025.
This marks the first time a government agency set a hard deadline
to end animal testing.

WCW was the only organization that worked with Congress to enact
legislation pushing the EPA to eliminate in-house animal testing,
which is now a key part of the EPA's new plan.





Since 2016, WCW has been working to end painful dog experiments
at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and 2019 found the
tests "slow to a near end."

WCW's "Prisoners of Waste" campaign compelled VA labs in
Milwaukee and Cleveland to stop their dog experiments, and the VA
discontinued its "maximum pain" tests on dogs, marking the end of
the government's most painful dog tests.

Following lobbying by WCW, Congress also enacted legislation
directing the VA to phase-out dog, cat and primate testing by
2025, marking the first time Congress has set a hard deadline for
the reduction of animal tests.





Following WCW lobbying and advocacy from our supporters, the 2020
federal spending bills signed into law include first-ever
language directing several agencies to reduce cruel and wasteful
primate tests:

NIH must report to Congress on its efforts to reduce primate
testing
VA must develop a plan to phase out primate, dog and cat testing
by 2025
FDA must develop a timeline and plan for the reduction of primate
tests, and monkey retirement




Following pressure from over 1 million WCW advocates supporting
our #GiveThemBack campaign and action from key lawmakers, the NIH
- the nation's top funder of animal testing - enacted a policy
allowing the retirement of many animals when experiments are shut
down, or otherwise end.

The AFTER Act (also known as Violet's Law) will strengthen the
NIH's policy and ensure all agencies have one as well.




A new federal audit prompted by WCW's 2016 "Spending to Death"
report confirmed concerns raised by WCW and Congress that federal
agencies are not being transparent about efforts to reduce
wasteful animal tests.

The Government Accountability Office directed agencies to develop
a system to track progress toward reducing and replacing federal
animal tests with more efficient and effective alternatives.

Taxpayer, none of this progress would have been possible without
you.

With your continued investment in 2020, we'll stop
taxpayer-funded animal experiments, once and for all!

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


Anthony Bellotti
President | Founder
White Coat Waste Project










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
with hard-hitting investigations and public policy campaigns.
