Thank you. You stepped up. So did our grassroots army. And we covered our budget to stop NIH’s electro-shock cat torture at UC-Irvine! 
 
I think we’re going to win, too. Here’s why… 
 
Just a few weeks ago, WCW shut down lethal kitten tests at UC-Davis. This is the exact same lab where UC-Irvine obtains its cats. 
 
ICYMI, I’ve pasted must-read coverage of your victory below. 
 
But we still have a lot of work to do... 
 
An oppressive animal testing regime has infested our government. These white coats have a favorite holiday: April 15th. Tax Day is when they force you to pay $20 billion for wasteful animal experiments—whether you like it or not. 
 
There’s a phrase for this: taxation without representation. 
 
Well, the WCW team just celebrated our favorite holiday: July 4th. 
 
You see, the Fourth of July isn’t just our great nation’s birthday. It’s also when the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) became law—a powerful tool we use to expose the world’s most powerful animal abusers. 
 
From exposing and closing the U.S. government’s largest kitten lab, to ending Dr. Fauci’s beagle experiments, to revealing the origin of COVID at the Wuhan lab… FOIA is how we follow the money. 
 
It’s how we WIN campaigns for cats. More on that below. 
 
Tyrants in white coats are to the 21st-century taxpayer what British red coats were to our 18th-century forefathers. 
 
You and I just sent them an unmistakable message: Give me liberty or give me death! 
 
Thanks, 
 
Anthony Bellotti 
President & Founder 
White Coat Waste Project

Deadly kitten experiments funded by NIH at UC-Davis halted after White Coat inquiry

Meet Delilah and Petite. The first two cats adopted from a Beltsville, Maryland lab in 2019, found a forever home with Anthony Bellotti. 
 
The USDA shut down toxoplasmosis experiments at that lab involving kittens after Bellotti's White Coat Waste Project and 7News discovered the facility had killed nearly 3,000 kittens over 36 years. 
 
In 2019, the USDA told 7News the research was necessary to fight toxoplasmosis, a disease considered a leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States. When all cat experiments were banned, the USDA said the research had reached its maturity and helped reduce the illness by 50% in the United States. 
 
"Deliah and Petite were two of the breeding moms who were forced to become incubators and their kittens were abused, experimented and killed. For the last five years, they were my pets. They've been my pets. Part of my family," added Bellotti, President and Founder of White Coat Waste Project. 
 
Bellotti's efforts led to the USDA banning all kitten experiments.
