Taxpayer Money Funds Bizarre Animal Experiments
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has been criticized for funding strange and cruel animal experiments. Groups like the White Coat Waste Project (WCW) are collaborating with Republican lawmakers to end these practices by cutting off NSF funding.
Shocking Discoveries
WCW's investigations revealed disturbing experiments:
- Puppies given harmful drugs
- Cats made obese through overfeeding
- Monkeys with holes drilled into their skulls
These experiments are not only cruel but also cost taxpayers millions.
Legislative Action
Rep. Nancy Mace has introduced an amendment to the Appropriations Act for 2026 to ban NSF funding for research causing pain or distress to pets like cats and dogs.
Disturbing Details
WCW uncovered more disturbing experiments:
- Kittens bred, overfed, and given weight loss drugs
- Transgender mice experiments involving hormone treatments
These raise serious ethical concerns.
Political Support
Sen. Joni Ernst and Sen. Rand Paul have been vocal about NSF reform. Sen. Paul even suggested shutting down the NSF due to reckless spending, citing a $14.6 million study involving drilling holes in monkeys' skulls.
Advocacy Efforts
Justin Goodman, Senior Vice President of WCW, has been instrumental in exposing these issues and working with lawmakers to end wasteful and cruel experiments.
Conclusion
Ending these experiments would be a win for animal rights and taxpayers, building on progress made under the Trump administration.
