You signed our petition to Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense (DOD). 
 
Now, this happened: 
 
MORE WINNING! White Coat Waste just ENDED the DOD’s $10.8 million contract for erectile dysfunction and constipation experiments on cats.
 
WCW investigators uncovered this cat-a-strophic waste. DOD paid a University of Pittsburgh lab $10.8 million to: 

• Sever cats’ spinal cords and paralyze their lower bodies.  
• Ram condoms and marbles up the cats’ anuses.  
• Electro-shock the crippled cats to give them erections and defecate. 

Check out our investigation right here.
 
Senator Rand Paul helped us expose it in his Festivus report. 
 
You and I started the lobbying and advocacy campaign to END it: 

• WCW sued the DOD.  
• WCW exposés sparked widespread media coverage.  
• WCW passed bipartisan House legislation—the first-ever vote to defund the Pentagon’s cat abuse.   
• WCW united Elon Musk, Laura Loomer, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Jared Moscowitz (D-FL), and a Ben & Jerry’s founder.   
• WCW rallied thousands of grassroots supporters to join the fight—donating, signing petitions, and demanding action.  

RESULT: Hegseth cut the money. 
 
WCW built a “strange bedfellows” coalition for cats. We united these MAGA leaders, Rand Paul libertarians, and liberal icons such as Ben Cohen, the legendary Ben & Jerry’s co-founder. 
 
First, WCW ended kitten experimentation at the USDA—the government’s largest cat laboratory. Then, we laid waste to all Veterans Affairs cat labs. 
 
Now, you and I waged war on waste at the DOD—and won. 
 
No other animal protection group has closed any federal feline labs in 40 years. And no other organizations worked with us on this campaign. 
 
I was inspired to end animal testing after working in a laboratory. My life’s work is to defend the domestic shorthair—and to destroy federal feline labs. 
 
That’s why I founded WCW: the nation’s MOST effective organization at slashing cat labs—and saving lab cats. 
 
But I can’t do it without you. And there’s a lot more work to do. So let’s keep fighting until we scrap ALL cat labs to the litterbox of history. 
 
Stop the Money. Stop the Madness!

P.S. Last week, White Coat Waste ended the NIH’s last in-house beagle lab—and the US government’s largest dog lab. Taxpayers and pet owners shouldn’t be forced to pay for the Pentagon’s pet abuse, either. Now, following a WCW campaign, we won’t have to.
