What if I told you the war on lab animals isn’t just happening in laboratories anymore? 
 
And what if I told you the new battlefield isn’t on land… but at sea? 
 
77 dolphins. 47 sea lions. $40 million in taxes. 
 
Breaking Exposé: The U.S. Navy is in the ANIMAL TESTING business!

Brace yourself. 
 
We just uncovered a trail of abuse so severe…so HEART-BREAKING…that even I couldn’t have imagined our government was capable of such depravity. 
 
I was wrong. 
 
Captured from their wild habitat. Endoscopes rammed into their blowhole. Deliberately trapped in nets… just to study how they react. 
 
It's called the Marine Mammal Program. And its victims are some of the most intelligent, sentient animals on the planet. 
 
Here’s what we found across 2,200 published papers: 

  • Removed from Water. Then Experimented On: Being restrained on land is highly stressful for bottlenose dolphins. 
  • OBEY! Or No Dinner Tonight: Victims train for tasks in exchange for meals. If they disobey, they’re denied food and scared with loud noises. 
  • Testing In Extreme Cold: They’re thrown into frigid temperatures, just to see at what point their metabolic rate rises. 
  • Sleep Deprivation Experiments: Dolphins are forced to swim around their cramped enclosures with no real sleep. For over two weeks! 
  • Forced to Drink Saltwater: It’s pumped directly into their bodies. Dolphins don’t normally consume seawater. So, they get very ill. 

Guess where the Navy gets its lab specimens from? 
 
SeaWorld
 
We’ve obtained hard evidence that the Navy acquired animals from the infamous amusement park disgraced by the Blackfish scandal. 
 
And the Pentagon also went on a $48,000 shopping spree at SeaWorld for “male sea lions.” [Payout #N6600110P5361]

Now here’s the real scandal: 
 
The Navy doesn’t want to do this anymore. Congress is FORCING them to do it! 
 
The Navy actually announced a plan to phase out the use of marine mammals for locating sea mines in favor of modern, high-tech underwater drones. 
 
But the heavy hand of Congress just passed a 2023 defense bill prohibiting the Navy from retiring the Marine Mammal Program. 
 
CHALLENGE GOVT >>
 
I love our troops. But dolphins and sea lions don’t serve. 
 
The White Coat Waste Project (WCW) has launched a BRAND-NEW campaign to get the Navy out of the animal testing business. 
 
When your Giving Tuesday gift is doubled, we’ll: 

  • LAUNCH more Freedom of Information Act investigations to follow the money and uncover the stories of abused dolphins and sea lions
  • EXPOSE the Navy’s wasteful spending and run more advertising to educate veterans, pet owners, and the media. 
  • ORGANIZE an army of taxpayers to rally Congress and lobby federal lawmakers to end this abuse. 

The MOST EFFECTIVE way to stop any government animal experiment—including the $40 million Marine Mammal Program—is to do it QUICKLY. Otherwise, it will become a federal precedent and remain on the books for years to come. 
 
EXTREMELY URGENT: Congress is setting the Navy’s new budget right now! 
 
We have a very tight timeline to take action. 
 
SEND HELP >>
 
A big-hearted supporter is matching gifts on Giving Tuesday. She’s challenging YOU to help us raise $75,000 and Challenge Government! 
 
Last time we took on the Pentagon, we cut its funding for all animal testing in Russia and China. And we won the first-ever policy to retire and release its lab survivors! 
 
We could do it again. But those wins only happened because YOU stepped up with a financial contribution. 
 
However, we have NOT covered our new campaign budget. To pull off this brand-new effort, we must have a strong showing on Giving Tuesday. 
 
Midnight Match: On Giving Tuesday, your special gift will go TWICE as far to support all our work and help get the U.S. Navy out of the animal testing business.
 
47 sea lions and 77 dolphins are counting on you. 
 
You Give. We Win. They Survive,

Sr. Vice President
