Press & Policymakers Celebrate WCW’s Historic Win Against VA Cat Testing

16 August 2024 | Blog


Have you heard the good news?  

Following a WCW investigation and vigorous campaign, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has canceled a wasteful plan to perform painful medical device experiments in which seven cats—the Stokes 7—would have had wiring implanted into their legs and backs, risking paralysis and death. 

The VA has also confirmed that it has ended ALL cat testing!

We’re yelling from the rooftops, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who worked with WCW to make this historic victory possible are celebrating too!

We’ve shut down all cat testing at the VA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Now, help us send ALL of Uncle Sam’s painful cat experiments to the litter box of history!  

Take a moment to send a pre-written email to your members of Congress urging them to de-fund ALL government spending on cat and dog testing!
