It’s almost exactly two years since we first exposed how U.S. taxpayers were unwittingly footing the bill for dangerous coronavirus experiments on animals at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Since then, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) and its supporters have been relentlessly urging lawmakers to take action, and we’re getting results. This Wednesday, the...
Beesly the Beagle Visits Lawmakers in DC! Last year, White Coat Waste Project released “Broken Bureaucracy,” a report detailing how thousands of puppies each year are abused in wasteful, misleading, and expensive tests just to satisfy archaic FDA red tape.

Of Veterans Affairs (VA), one of only two VA facilities still experimenting on dogs, their experiments can be categorized as “all of the above.” But thanks to White Coat Waste Project’s (WCW) campaign — which generated widespread public opposition to...
In August 2021, as part of our #BeagleGate series of exposés, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) revealed that taxpayers had paid $375,000 for experiments in Tunisia, where beagles were bitten again and again and again by infectious sand flies.

For the past two weeks, our supporters have been watching the Elite 8, then the Final Four. Now, at long last, a champion has been crowned! Nope, we’re not talking about college basketball.
