Taxpayer, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) REFUSES to create a retirement policy for lab animal survivors.

Instead of adopting out lab animal survivors to a loving home, lazy USDA bureaucrats prefer to kill them. It’s just more convenient.

SIGN PETITION: Demand the USDA to create a retirement policy for lab animal survivors RIGHT NOW.

Taxpayer, here’s what you need to know:

Before WCW launched our #GiveThemBack initiative in July 2018, zero government labs had retirement policies.

Lab survivors across the federal government were either shipped to a new lab for more torture or slaughtered and thrown away – like trash.

But with the help of persistent advocates like you, WCW has secured retirement policies at the National Institutes of Health, the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, and the Food and Drug Administration.

But the USDA STILL WON’T join other agencies in making adoption an option for lab survivors!

We even rallied Congress to pass legislation directing the USDA to develop an agency-wide lab animal retirement policy, but they still won’t budge.

The USDA’s white coats have made it clear: they will NEVER give lab survivors a second chance at life… that is, unless taxpayers like you make them.

Taxpayer, these retirement policies are super important.

You may recall that WCW recently obtained USDA records revealing that after we shut down USDA’s “Kitten Slaughterhouse” lab in 2019, the survivors had to be sold as “excess property” for $1 each, no different than a stapler, paper clips, or rolls of tape.

The USDA did this because it does not have a policy that allows for lab animal retirement.

It was lucky that Delilah and Petite (USDA Kitten Slaughterhouse survivors rescued by WCW) were sold instead of killed. But most other USDA lab survivors aren’t so fortunate.

That’s why your petition signature today is so important: The sooner the USDA has a day two plan, the more animals we can give lives outside the lab.

Taxpayer, our most recent polling results indicate that 74% of taxpayers want the USDA to create a retirement policy.

But for Congress to take action, we must prove to them that this statistic is accurate. That’s why your signature TODAY is so important!

URGENT PETITION: We must rally at least 250,000 taxpayer signatures before next Monday to generate a critical mass of support.

Please don’t waste time. Rush your signature right now!

P.S. Taxpayers like you paid for the USDA’s lab animals. Now it’s time they #GiveThemBack and retire the ones that made it out alive – they deserve a happy life in a loving home.

DEADLINE TO SIGN: Please sign this petition, which we will deliver to your Members of Congress on Monday, November 22nd, to demand that the USDA retire its lab survivors to the taxpayers who paid for them!
