Merry Christmas! (You read that correctly. It’s not a typo).
WCW is celebrating Christmas in July this year. But we didn’t get you a gift... we got you multiple gifts. MORE HISTORIC WINS!
The House of Representatives is wrapping up its 2021 budget. We’ve been working directly with Congress to clean up government waste and save lives for you:
------
GIFT #1: CUTTING FDA RED TAPE
-
Progress | Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
Because of your overwhelming support at the launch of our new Cut FDA Red Tape campaign, we immediately started lobbying Congress.
Now the House is demanding FDA issue a report on how drug makers can avoid wasteful, slow, and costly max-pain tests on beagle puppies. That’s instant impact!

NEXT STEPS: Pressure FDA to COMPLETELY CUT its red tape and save 20,000+ beagles puppies every year!
Take Action »

GIFT #2: ENDING GOVERNMENT MONKEY BUSINESS
-
Progress | National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Remember NIH’s Fear Factory? The snake and spider torture?
NIH is the world’s #1 spender on taxpayer-funded primate testing. Now, thanks to you, Congress just ordered it to provide a plan for the reduction of primate use by 2025.
This. Is. Huge. It’s the first time in history Congress set a hard deadline for the reduction of NIH primate testing!

Progress | Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
That's not all. Congress also just unanimously urged FDA to reduce its own primate abuse, seek alternatives, and retire the survivors. YASSS!
We’ve already ended 1/3 of FDA’s primate labs. So it’s one down, two to go!

NEXT STEPS: Pressure Congress to de-fund ALL NIH and FDA painful primate labs… and retire the survivors to sanctuaries!

GIFT #3: SAVING PUPPY PRISONERS OF WASTE
-
Progress | Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA)
Remember the Richmond 66? The treadmills and heart attacks? Well, not for much longer!
The House also just voted to completely defund VA dog testing… ALL of it!
Because of you, the VA’s painful dog experiments are already at their lowest point. But this major move forward is the first step to PERMANENTLY end the VA’s shameful taxpayer-funded dog testing program… once and for all!

NEXT STEPS: We need it to pass in the Senate, before being signed into law by the President. Let’s do this!

There’s a lot more work to be done. But you should be very proud.
Despite a deadly pandemic, social unrest, the recession, and a presidential election, we’re still winning our fight against government animal experiments!
No other organization can say the same. We have YOU to thank for that.
Christmas doesn’t usually come in July. But as long as you keeping supporting WCW, we’ll keep delivering victories… all year ‘round.
Onward!
