White Coat Waste Project (WCW) shocked the world with our viral #BeagleGate exposé of how Anthony Fauci and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) shipped tax dollars to Tunisia for experiments in which beagles’ heads were locked in mesh cages so they could be eaten alive by hungry sand flies.
WCW also recently exposed and stopped all five of NIAID’s $1.8 million hay fever experiments on beagle puppies. (No other group has shut down a single government dog lab in nearly a generation).
Now, in another exclusive WCW investigation, we’ve uncovered that Fauci and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have been bankrolling the same Tunisia-style abuse on U.S. soil, too, but with a sickening twist.

Actual photo from NIAID’s discarded pet lab at the University of Iowa where capsules full of sand flies were strapped to the dogs’ ears so the insects could “feed” on the dogs.
New documents obtained by WCW show that under Dr. Fauci (and still now after he’s gone), NIH white coats have been conducting and funding even more deadly sandfly experiments at the University of Iowa on pet dogs who were “donated” (aka, DISCARDED!!) to the lab!

That’s right. Public records we pried free from the University of Iowa (they fought us on it!) show at least 12 dogs were “donated” by their owners to the university to be abused by white coats in these experiments from 2017 to 2019. The records show that all of the dogs were killed in 2019.
In February 2017, four foxhounds were abandoned at the lab, including two-year-old Ringo, three-year-old Granite, six-year-old Paddington, and ten-year-old Nicky.


In March 2018, four more foxhounds were discarded for experiments, including nine-year-old Cougar, five-year-old Lover, five-year-old Gunner, and four-year-old Viking.
And in April 2019, another four foxhounds were dumped at the lab, including five-year-old Verity, five-year-old Velocity, four-year-old Brigette, and ten-year-old Raptor.

Records show that four other dogs abused, and killed by the lab were named Willow, Gentle, Kasji, and Paisley.
The university admitted to us that it destroyed records detailing what the experiments on these dogs involved, but we’ve found receipts in a 2021 paper published by NIAID and the University of Iowa’s own white coats:
In short, taxpayer-funded experimenters from NIAID and the University of Iowa are drugging abandoned pet dogs and locking them in mesh cages. Then, the white coats are strapping capsules full of hungry sand flies to the dogs’ ears so the insects could “feed” on the dogs. When the experiment is over, the dogs are killed and dissected, even though effective treatments for their illness exist.
Sound familiar? It’s just another wasteful variation on the abusive sand fly experimentation on dogs that we exposed in Fauci’s in-house labs back in 2016 and in Tunisia in 2021.

These deadly dog experiments are being funded by two active grants from NIAID and the NIH’s Fogarty International Center which have received close to $10 million in taxpayers’ money combined.
Both grants are currently set to expire in June 2023, and we’re going to work with Congress to ensure this wasteful spending is cut off and no other dogs are tortured!
In fact, we just helped Congress re-introduce WCW-backed bipartisan legislation to defund all of the NIH’s dog experiments, and we’re suing NIAID for more documents detailing its abusive dog testing.
