UPDATE: The House of Representatives voted to COMPLETELY de-fund VA dog testing. But we still need to pass the Senate.

ENEMIES: The pro-animal testing lobby is throwing all their weight into killing this bill in the Senate. 

YOU CAN HELP: We need to gather 150,000 signatures before the Senate votes on Wilkie’s VA budget – VERY SOON!

Sign this petition demanding the U.S. Senate hold VA Sec. Wilkie’s white coats accountable for illegally experimenting on puppies! Let’s shut down his labs and adopt out the survivors!

---- Original message ----

It’s official: the VA broke the law… again. It defied Congress and President Trump. AGAIN! And we just caught them red-handed!

I am FUMING… and you should be too:

• BUSTED: The Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) just spent $393,606 in taxes to ILLEGALLY experiment on 51 dogs
• HEADLINE: “Veterans Affairs staff used dogs in medical research without Secretary's permission, report finds” -Connecting Vets
• IT’S BAD:  VA drilled into puppies' skulls, destroyed brains, and damaged their spinal cords. Some were denied pain relief and anesthesia.

The VA refuses to stop wasting your money to hurt puppies… even after Congress cut their funding!

URGENT PETITION: follow this link and demand Congress hold VA Secretary Robert Wilkie and his white coats accountable.

I keep thinking about government dog #A7.

VA white coats forced her to run on a treadmill to stress her exhausted heart. She died of a HEART ATTACK in a maximum-pain VA lab.

It’s too late for #A7, but if we can rally Congress to shut down the illegal labs immediately, we can still save the survivors.

Some are only 9-months-old.

We must not let them suffer and die like #A7 in taxpayer-funded torture chambers!

That’s why my investigators alerted the media. And we rallied Waste Warriors Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Vern Buchanan (R-FL), and Dina Titus (D-NV) to hold Sec. Wilkie and his white coats accountable:

“The Inspector General’s report makes it clear that the Dept. Of Veterans Affairs misled the public while conducting cruel experiments on dogs in violation of federal law.” -Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV)

URGENT DEADLINE: now we must scramble to get the word out to all 50 U.S. Senators — and quickly.

Will you sign our petition right now?

These puppies have suffered long enough.

P.S. DEADLINE: the Senate will vote on Congress’ appropriations bill very soon. This key vote includes Wilkie’s VA budget! Please don’t let them get away with another scandal. Add your name today to demand government accountability!
