Friend—

Thank you for signing our important petition urging federal agencies to retire animals no longer needed in experiments. We already have good news to share:

Following pressure from Congress and countless White Coat Waste Project supporters like you, the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has just enacted the first-ever federal policy encouraging the retirement of dogs, cats, primates and other animals at the end of experiments. The VA even writes that retiring former lab animals is an “ethical obligation”!

We couldn’t have done this without your support! 

Now, visit GiveThemBack.org and urge Congress to ensure all other federal agencies follow the VA’s lead.

Thank you for your advocacy!
