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!
The VA just canceled plans to resume cat tests and has ended all pet experiments. 🔬
A win for pets and taxpayers! Thanks @WhiteCoatWaste for your support. pic.twitter.com/ffVWJ5UwmG

Media outlets across the country also broadcasted the big news!
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!
