White Coat Waste has now cut every single known dog and cat laboratory across the entire U.S. military.
First: WCW got Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to close a $10 million Navy-funded lab. It electro-shocked cats and shoved marbles up their rectums in constipation experiments.
Then: Ten days later, the U.S. Navy banned all dog and cat testing—and the Navy explicitly credited WCW.
NOW: WCW made the Army cut even more dog and cat labs… all around the world!
Days after WCW uncovered over $57 million in U.S. Army-funded labs—blasting cats with loud noises, poisoning beagles, detaching dogs’ retinas, and worse—Hegseth is cutting the contracts.
And Hegseth specifically credits WCW.
Thanks for helping make it happen.
You Give. We Win. They Survive.

P.S. No other animal protection organization worked with us on this Army campaign. And no legacy group has shut down a government dog lab in nearly 20 years, or a federal feline lab in at least 40 years. Here’s how you and WCW ended the culture of losing.

WCW VICTORY! Pentagon Cuts Millions in Dog and Cat Labs, Credits WCW Investigation
- Instant Impact: Days after an exclusive White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation uncovered over $57 million in active Pentagon-funded dog and cat experiments worldwide, Trump’s Defense Department is cutting the multi-million-dollar contracts and specifically crediting WCW for bringing them to light.
- Pentagon Promises Kept: Last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Laura Loomer that the DOD was reviewing the dog and cat lab contracts exposed by WCW’s investigation and is “Committed to this.”
- In just three months: The DOD has canceled a $10 million cat lab (the constipation experiments uncovered by WCW), the U.S. Navy banned all dog and cat testing (explicitly crediting WCW), the Trump Administration shut down a DOD contract to drug 300 beagles per week in China, and now Hegseth has cut millions in other dog and cat labs around the world—all exposed by WCW.
- Directly following WCW’s investigations and lobbying, the House and Senate also just advanced 2026 Defense spending bills that cut funding for the DOD’s dog and cat labs in the U.S., China, and other foreign countries.
- WCW was the only group to uncover, investigate, and directly target these experiments—the very abuse that prompted Hegseth’s action. Legacy animal groups ignored Pentagon dog and cat testing for decades.
- Legacy groups launched no investigations, filed no lawsuits, and mounted no lobbying to stop the dog and cat experiments that ultimately triggered these cuts.
- WCW’s unprecedented coalition—including Laura Loomer, Elon Musk, Rep. Nancy Mace, military veterans, and dozens of bipartisan lawmakers—delivered the knockout pressure that forced the win.
- Hegseth’s cuts deliver WCW’s top demand to the Trump Administration: Defund every last dog and cat lab.
- Following our wins at the Army and Navy, WCW has now cut every single known dog and cat laboratory across the entire U.S. military.
Following a years-long White Coat Waste campaign, and just days after an exclusive new White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation uncovered over $57 million in active Army and other Pentagon-funded dog and cat experiments worldwide, Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has cut millions in contracts for the cruel labs we exposed and specifically credited WCW.
