• Following WCW investigations, last week Congress introduced the bipartisan PAAW Act to defund ALL painful NIH cat and dog tests, which are opposed by over 70% of taxpayers.
• The PAAW Act is the first bill ever introduced by Congress to completely defund painful NIH testing on dogs and cats

Citing White Coat Waste Project (WCW) investigations, last week Reps. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) introduced the Preventing Animal Abuse and Waste (PAAW) Act to defund all of the National Institutes of Health’s painful experiments on dogs and cats and require more transparency and accountability about all its testing on pets.
