Timeline: Beaglegate – by Greg Collard and James Rushmore

In the last decade, White Coat Waste (WCW) has led an aggressive campaign to end the use of dogs for medical research. It focused a lot of its energy on pressuring Anthony Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for nearly 40 years, to end the practice. The NIAID is a division of the NIH.

Today s landmark victory is especially sweet as our fight to expose and close Fauci and NIH s in-house dog labs which slaughtered more than 2,000 beagles over the last 40 years was the first campaign White Coat Waste started in 2016, said Anthony Bellotti, the founder and president of WCW, the day Bhattacharya said the last lab was gone.

But to hear WCW spokesman Justin Goodman talk, the victory is more like winning a battle in a war.

It was the NIH’s last in-house dog lab. And it was actually the last deadly dog laboratory across all government agencies inside the agencies themselves, Goodman says. Unfortunately, the NIH, the Department of Defense, the FDA and other agencies are still funding experimentation on dogs and cats outside of their agencies at colleges and universities and private companies across the country. So we’re hoping to export this great homegrown victory inside the government, outside to these other laboratories that are being funded with our tax dollars.

Dogs, cats, amphibians, reptiles and finally in the end, maybe human unborn babies. You never know.
