Impact Report  
 
You stepped up. So did thousands of taxpayers and pet owners. And we covered our rapid response budget. Thank you! 
 
I’m confident we’ll score a win for NIH’s “coke hounds” (and many more animals) too. Here’s why… 
 
BREAKING: We just rallied thirteen Republican and Democratic lawmakers to demand an AUDIT of spending on dog and cat tests!
 
Congress—citing White Coat Waste investigations—now wants answers from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) about federal funding of animal labs. 
 
You made it happen. And it’s a big bipartisan breakthrough. 
 
That’s why you + WCW is effective. In a divided nation, we unite folks around the common enemy for animals in labs: wasteful government spending. 
 
Stop the Money. Stop the Madness!

Lawmakers Demand Federal Audit of Dog and Cat Lab Spending  

• Citing WCW investigations, 13 Democrat and Republican lawmakers are demanding a federal audit of taxpayer funding for dog and cat testing 
• In their letter to the Government Accountability Office, they write that a lack of transparency about government spending on dog and cat experiments “is bad for taxpayers and animals.” 
• The bipartisan letter references WCW investigations of dog and cat experiments funded by the USDA, NIH, and DOD 
• New WCW research shows that 85% of taxpayers oppose the government’s painful pet experiments and that the practice could be eliminated within a decade or sooner 

The U.S. government is the single largest funder of cruel and outdated dog and cat testing. For years, White Coat Waste (WCW) has been leading bipartisan efforts with Congress to expose and cut taxpayer funding for abusive and unnecessary experiments on pets in the U.S. and overseas and retire the survivors to loving homes. 
 
Now, citing WCW investigations, a bipartisan coalition led by Congress members Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) and Dina Titus (D-NV) have fired off a letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) demanding an audit of government spending on cruel and wasteful dog and cat experiments in the U.S. and overseas.
