A government research lab known for cruel experiments on beagles has been closed by the NIH. Under scrutiny for pushing bacteria into the dogs' lungs, the lab's practices draw backlash from Congress and watchdog groups. NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya announced a shift towards phasing out animal testing, advocating for technological advancements instead. The White Coat Waste Project played a pivotal role in uncovering these practices and fought for nine years to end beagle experimentation at the NIH, which involved cruel procedures resulting in the death of over 2,133 dogs.
"We got rid of all of the beagle experiments on NIH campus." - Jay Bhattacharya, referring to the cessation of cruel animal testing at the NIH.
"As the watchdog that first uncovered and battled Dr. Fauci's beagle tests (the biggest animal testing scandal in history), we're proud that White Coat Waste has closed the NIH's last in-house beagle laboratory following a hard-fought nine-year-long campaign." - Anthony Bellotti.
