NIH didn’t change its mind. WCW changed it for them. 
  
Legacy “animal rights” groups praised Bhattacharya and Kleinstreuer—even as NIH funded more labs. White Coat Waste exposed the bureaucrats—and made NIH fold. Keep reading below to see how White Coat Waste forced the government to back down.

WHITE COAT WASTE FORCES NIH TO PHASE OUT DOG AND CAT LABS 

• WCW FORCED THE PHASE-OUT.  After months of excuses, delays, and defending animal labs, NIH now says it will phase out dog and cat testing—because White Coat Waste forced them to. 
• THE TIMELINE IS DECISIVE. Just 48 hours after WCW rallied Rep. Paul Gosar and 10 other lawmakers to grill NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya with our exclusive investigations, NIH reversed course. 
• KLEINSTREUER DEFENDED ANIMAL TESTING. In June, she told NPR there was “no intention” to phase out the experiments “overnight”—because they’re “very important and often scientifically justified.” On July 4, she stood by the policy and told the public to keep waiting. 
• WCW EXPOSED BHATTACHARYA’S #BEAGLEGATE. We revealed how NIH renewed and authorized Fauci-era dog and cat experiments—and funded brand new ones under Bhattacharya. Legacy “animal rights” groups stayed silent while NIH dug in. Then they kept praising Kleinstreuer. 
• WCW LAUNCHED A FULL-SCALE BLITZ. We hit NIH with 4 million targeted ads. Then we unleashed 243,486 calls and emails from taxpayers and pet owners demanding an immediate phase-out. NIH was flooded—and surrendered. 
• BHATTACHARYA BLINKED. KLEINSTREUER CAVED. NIH didn’t change its mind. WCW and our supporters changed it for them. 

Just 48 hours after Congress grilled NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya using exclusive White Coat Waste investigations, the NIH now says it will phase out dog and cat labs—a stunning reversal triggered by pressure from our relentless campaign to protect pets from government abuse. 
 
“The National Institutes of Health has announced that it will begin phasing out barbaric dog and cat testing, following months of…relentless investigations of the taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste.” -Gateway Pundit, July 11, 2025 
 
White Coat Waste is encouraged that NIH has finally committed to phasing out dog and cat labs—and catching up to other Trump agency heads already cutting wasteful pet abuse funding worldwide. 
 
But it shouldn’t have taken our 90-day blitz of 4 million targeted ads, 243,486 calls and emails, and direct pressure from Congress to force Bhattacharya’s hand. 
 
Take Down Timeline: Bhattacharya Blinked. Kleinstreuer Caved. 
WCW’s pressure campaign made them do it—and this timeline proves it.
