Louisville VA Wastes Your $ To Cripple Kittens, Run on Treadmills, Turn Them Into ZOMBIES

White Coat Waste Project (WCW) just shut down the sickening kitten mutilation lab at the Los Angeles Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Now we’re coming for one that might be even worse.

It’s a secret lab funded by the Louisville VA Medical Center, where documents obtained by WCW show how white coats are doing things to healthy kittens that make your heart hurt and your blood boil… on your dime:

  • “Snapping” kittens’ spines in order to disable them.
  • Forcing kittens to run on treadmills and through obstacle courses, before and after being crippled.
  • Injecting compounds directly into the kittens’ brains.

The kittens who survive this part of experimentation are then handed over to a different lab for even more horrific procedures:

They are essentially turned into zombies in what’s known as “decerebration” experiments.

That’s a fancy term they use to mean cutting off a cat’s brain function while they are still alive by knocking them out, severing its brain stems, and sometimes even removing pieces of its brain.

Then the taxpayer-funded white coats butcher and mutilate the kittens’ legs, while their brains are unable to respond.

After that, the mutilated zombie kittens are forced to run on treadmills.

Here’s a video of a decerebrated cat on a treadmill, to give you a sense of what it looks like:

The experiments are categorized as “Column D,” meaning they are painful procedures.

There are no survivors. Not even the healthy cats purchased to be what these scientists term “controls,” who are not subjected to the painful procedures. They are killed too … for no reason at all.

Records WCW uncovered show that 45 kittens have been purchased—for $881 apiece—mutilated, killed, and thrown away like garbage. We’re currently fighting to obtain more documents that the lab has refused to turn over.

The VA has squandered $1,283,866 of your tax dollars already for these gory, wasteful experiments. 

And, the Louisville VA has already been approved to buy, mutilate, and kill up to 80 kittens.

Well, we have a different plan.

We’re on the verge of ending ALL painful government cat experimentation. We got the Los Angeles VA kitten suffocation & de-braining lab shut down. Before that, we shut down the USDA’s “Kitten Slaughterhouse”—the government’s biggest, baddest cat lab.

The VA is the last government agency still abusing cats in painful experiments. 

When the money stops, the killing stops. 

They used your money to buy, hurt, and kill these kittens, and never told you their names. Tell them yours: Please help by urging Congress to defund the VA’s kitten labs!
