Our investigators have uncovered that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has shipped over $7M since 2004 to the University of Rochester for deadly and wasteful experiments on cats. That’s nearly two decades of tax-funded torture.
The University of Rochester’s disturbing taxpayer-funded experiments uncovered by WCW include:
White coats exhausted many forms of eye injury on these innocent cats, including scraping, lasers, and complete corneal transplants.
Cats are forced to keep their damaged eyes wide open so that white coats can conduct further experiments on them.
In many cases, perfectly healthy cats are killed so that white coats can experiment on their “freshly harvested” eyeballs. The lives of these animals are of no value to them.
WCW investigators uncovered a haunting visual of how the cats’ eyeballs are used after being ripped from their bodies:
We’ve also discovered that the University of Rochester’s wasteful white coats violated long-standing federal law by failing to publicly disclose how much taxpayer funding they spent torturing these cats. We caught them bragging about their disturbing experiments in a university news article—but they neglected to acknowledge the $7M of federal funds used to conduct them.
We’ve filed a federal complaint calling for U Rochester to be investigated and defunded. You can read more details in our complaint below.
