Loomer Unleashed’s recent guest Justin Goodman, the Senior Vice President of the non-profit White Coat Waste Project, discussed how the U.S. government is the country’s largest funder of animal testing, along with the important work President Donald Trump has done to stop the government from supporting this taxpayer-funded cruelty toward dogs, cats and other animals in laboratories both in the US and abroad.
White Coat Waste Blows the Whistle on Fauci-Era Beagle Tests
America may not know their name, but Americans know their work. WCW is the group that first exposed Dr. Fauci and USAID’s funding for the Wuhan animal testing lab that caused COVID. They exposed Fauci’s beagle tests around the world. Additionally, WCW uncovered the Biden-Harris Administration’s funding for transgender animal experiments that President Trump and DOGE have been criticizing and cutting.
Biden-Harris Animal Torture Contracts Survive Under Trump
In advance of WCW’s interview with Loomer Unleashed, Loomered broke a new WCW investigation exposing how the Biden-Harris National Institute of Health (NIH) paid billionaire Moderna co-founder Robert Langer’s new biotech company to torture beagles to test an experimental weight loss drug. NIH awarded a $322,000 grant to Langer’s company in September 2024, and the Trump administration continues to fund it through August 2025.
NIH Still Tortures Beagles in D.C. Lab, Despite Trump’s Reforms
This begs the question: Why is the Trump NIH still paying this Trump hating, MRNA pioneer and vaccine billionaire to abuse dogs?
WCW exposed on Loomer Unleashed that Biden-era animal cruelty hasn’t stopped. The Trump administration NIH has allowed it to continue.
Trump’s NIH headquarters, where Trump-appointed Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya works, still operates a lab that has tortured beagles in deadly septic shock experiments for over 25 years. The lab intends to continue abusing animals on the taxpayer’s dime.
WCW uncovered that the NIH and Pentagon are currently paying a laboratory in China to abuse 300 beagles per week in drug tests. The Biden-Harris administration approved the contract, and it remains active through the end of May 2025. It could continue unless Bhattacharya takes immediate action to stop it. Trump has canceled grants to some Chinese labs, but 20 other Chinese animal testing laboratories are still eligible for NIH funding.
Dr. Nora Volkow, the longtime NIH bureaucrat who serves as the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse at NIH, which funded this Chinese dog lab–and paid for abuses like cocaine experiments on puppies and sex party drug tests on transgender animals–also has managed to keep her job. Hopefully, not for long.
$3M Fauci Puppy Vaccine Experiment Renewed Until 2026
This pattern of cruelty goes far beyond isolated cases. Loomered has learned that the Trump Administration has actively renewed and extended other horrendous animal testing projects. According to WCW, the NIH just renewed a $3 million project funded by Dr. Fauci at the University of Missouri-Columbia that infests hundreds of beagle puppies with ticks in vaccine experiments. Records obtained by WCW show that the puppies have their fur shaved and capsules full of hungry ticks glued to their bare skin. Many of the dogs are intentionally denied pain relief. NIH scheduled the grant to end in May 2025, but the Trump-led NIH recently extended those animal testing projects through May 2026.
Transgender Mouse Testing Grant Extended Despite Cuts
The NIH also just inexplicably extended a $3.1 million grant for transgender animal testing that WCW exposed last year, that Trump called out during his Congressional address in March, and that the White House specifically highlighted in a March 2025 press release. The Trump Administration has cut at least 10 transgender animal testing grants so far, but one grant to Indiana University just had its end date extended from June of 2025 to June of 2026.
Trump’s NIH Director Must Act—And Fast
Dr. Bhattacharya has his work cut out for him at the NIH and some hard decisions to make, but banning cruel animal testing isn’t one of them. There’s absolutely no reason why he can’t immediately shut down the dog lab located inside his own NIH headquarter office in DC where he works every week, cut all active and future funding for dog and cat experiments, defund and disqualify all animal labs in China, and put all animal testing on the chopping block.
We also need to retire and re-home as many dogs and cats as possible from these taxpayer-funded labs once they shut down, ensuring the abusers don’t euthanize the animals and instead allow them to live out their lives in loving homes. If Bhattacharya won’t step up to save puppies and kittens, how can the American people trust him to fix anything at the NIH?
I am so disappointed in hearing this with Trump and all all this was shut down!!! I will be running directly to this so-called doctor this is disgusting and absolutely should be shut down immediately thank you for all the work you do and exposing this horrific abuse!
We can donate any amount to the White Coat Waste Project to help save these animals and cut out wasteful govt spending funding it!
Act.whitecoatwaste.org
And it’s tax deductible too! Strength in numbers!!
STOP THIS INSANE FUNDING!!!
I wonder if President Trump is even aware of this. He certainly needs to be, and he needs to assure such barbaric horrors are ended, immediately.
I would make sure Lara Trump knows about this. She is a huge animal advocate and Trump supported one the rescues in NC to the tune of 100K she will get this information to him to take action
I sent two articles to her including this one at her Fox address; but I believe donating to the White Coat Waste Project will do the most good- any amount and tax deductible
Just keep me updated on this filth, this breaks my heart. Just like children being abused and tortured. Absolutely ? sick.
Please let President Trump know so he can stop all of the torture.
Stop all this horrible experimentation now!! This is unacceptable
I hope this all stops
Please make this madness stop!!!!! Disgusting!!!!!
When did humans become capable of such cruelty? And making it sound all scientific. Inflicting such suffering on the most loving animals. We really are the sickest monsters.
What do we do to stop this? Who do we complain to? Please publish a list of names & addresses in the government to stop torturing these precious dogs.
Terrible news!! We must get this info out to Trump and the media! Breitbart is very animal kind as are most conservative sites. This news must be brought to
Legacy news also! These “doctors/researchers” are just sadists – they need to be rounded up & put in prison for these horrendous “experiments “!!
Why the heck am I sending money to Fauci. That’s disgusting and a total disgrace. I want my tax paying dollars back. Don’t use monkeys and beagle use that jerk instead. He is definitely going to hell
Stop these terrible animal experiments. How would you like it if they did it to you?
These unnecessary, discussing animal experiments must all be stopped ASAP. Trump, I’ve supported you on everything ,but not this. Please no more funding for torching animals. Unbelievable we would grant Fauci more money, he’s a monster. Trump, please stopped using animals.
I find it hard to believe that President Trump would let this horrific animal abuse continue. Perhaps he is unaware of this disgusting waste of taxpayers dollars and these evil and cruel experiments on helpless animals. Is there any way to inform him of such atrocities?
It needs to be stopped now………….no more funding. What can we do now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
