Dear Taxpayer,

Do you want 20,000+ more puppies to be killed this year because of an OUTDATED and USELESS government regulation that forces drug companies to experiment on dogs?

If your answer is no, please follow this secure link to sign our new petition RIGHT NOW.

See below.  We must reach 1 MILLION signatures to convince Congress to cut the FDA’s dog testing mandate.

We still need 39,000 Americans to add their name before we deliver constituent signatures to Congress FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.  Will you help?

Thanks,

Our campaign to cut the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) dog testing red tape is building major momentum… and your continued advocacy is needed TODAY to cross the finish line.

HERE’S WHY: we’ve spent the last 11 months investigating hundreds of new drug applications submitted to the FDA by pharmaceutical companies over the last 20 years.

We’ve uncovered exactly what FDA FORCES companies to do to thousands of puppies each year… and we just released our investigation to Congress AND the media.

Midnight Signature Deadline

The FDA-mandated abuse we found is worse than anything we could have imagined:

• MOUTHS TAPED SHUT: Their little mouths are taped shut to stop them from spitting out the experimental chemicals.
• GAS MASKS AND TUBES: 7-day-old puppies are forced to ingest experimental chemicals by strapping gas masks to their faces and shoving tubes down their throats.
• AWFUL SIDE-EFFECTS: They suffer devastating effects like foaming at the mouth, becoming comatose or paralyzed, blindness, convulsions, and “beagle pain syndrome.”
• ACCIDENTAL DEATHS: dogs were “found dead” from “human error,” including trauma during force-feeding, or incorrect dosing.

We don’t just need to cut FDA red tape … we must SLASH IT.

If you agree, please rush your signature to our new petition demanding your Members of Congress take action IMMEDIATELY before drug companies are forced to kill another 20,000 puppies this year!

Sign Petition

When you add your name to our urgent new petition, you will be advocating that Congress do the following:

• Audit the FDA: The Government Accountability Office should audit the FDA to determine the extent to which the FDA has — or has not — allowed companies to use alternatives to dog tests.
• Enact the AARF Act: Congress should pass the bipartisan Alternatives to Animals for Regulatory Fairness Act (H.R. 1905) — known as the AARF Act— to codify drug companies’ freedom to avoid the FDA’s dog testing mandate and utilize more productive testing methods.
• Modernize regulations and industry guidance: The FDA should revise its current regulations and issue detailed guidance on how drug makers can avoid testing on dogs under the current legal framework.
• Enhance accountability: The FDA’s Alternative Methods Working Group should establish performance indicators and timelines for its efforts to expand regulatory acceptance of non-dog testing methods.
  
  

Sign Petition

Our polling shows a SUPERMAJORITY of taxpayers, both Republican and Democrat, want the FDA to end its dog-testing mandate.

WCW has already rallied Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to push regulatory relief across party lines:

“A bipartisan group of lawmakers accused the FDA of ‘POISONING PUPPIES TO DEATH’” -Daily Caller

That’s a great start.  But the only way to prevent another 20,000 more puppies from being pointlessly poisoned to death this year is if we convince ALL 535 Members to prioritize these WCW-recommended policies.

There’s zero chance that will happen unless an overwhelming number of taxpayers demand it.

So please, follow this secure link to rush your petition signature right now.

Let’s do this!
