"We’re proud that White Coat Waste has closed the NIH’s last in-house beagle laboratory—and the US govt’s biggest dog lab. We applaud POTUS for cutting this wasteful NIH spending & will keep fighting until we defund all dog labs at home & abroad"
“Beagles have been used in medical experiments because of their docile temperament. The issue garnered the attention of many on social media and in Congress in 2021 when White Coat Waste revealed evidence that NIH exported $375,800 to a Tunisian lab for experiments that induced sand flies to feed on beagles locked in cages in order to study leishmaniasis.”
“NIH sourced beagles from contractor Envigo. Envigo reached a plea agreement in June 2024 to pay a $11 million fine for violating the Animal Welfare Act as part of a larger $35.5 million settlement, the largest-ever fine in an Animal Welfare Act case, according to the US Attorney’s Office. Inspections of a Virginia breeding facility revealed the dogs were stuffed in overcrowded kennels filled with feces and fed non-potable drinking water and rotten food.”
“The NIH announced on April 29 an initiative to shift away from animal experimentation toward less cruel methods more directly relevant to human health such as organoids, organs-on-a-chip, computing modeling and real-world data.”

Top posts on Reddit are increasingly being generated by ChatGPT, as indicated by the boom in em dash usage
The Em Dash Conspiracy
(Telegram does automatically convert double “-“s into em-dashes — but reddit’s UI does not, making the rise in emdashes on reddit super-sus, as the em dash character literally isn’t on the keyboard)

Alternate interpretation of what this is: Proving the right will fund their side of the culture war
There’s classic rule in startups,
Never ask people what they want — Instead ask what they’d be willing to PAY for
By this rule, you should treat any claims of badly wanting something as absolute BS, no matter how much someone screams that they want it — Unless they’re actually willing to PAY for it
In the same way, up to now, the right constantly claimed they wanted things to change, but were apparently never willing to fund it
With things like USAID, or the Karmelo Anthony’s gofundme — the left repeatedly proved they were willing to pay for their side to win
Meanwhile, according to the classic money talks rule, the right was talking BS,
Until now
This is a landmark moment, because the right finally started putting their money where their mouth is
