President Trump Protected Defenseless Animals from Government Torture Before, and He Will Do it Again

He doesn’t get enough credit for it, but in his first term, President Donald Trump shut down some of the worst taxpayer-funded animal abuses imaginable.

He doesn’t get enough credit for it, but in his first term, President Donald Trump shut down some of the worst taxpayer-funded animal abuses imaginable, from deadly dog and cat experiments to dangerous bat labs in Wuhan.

My old friends at the non-profit White Coat Waste Project have just released a four-point-plan for Trump 2.0 that can save billions and make America great again for animals: Defund dog and cat testing, cut off animal labs in China, reinstate Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency animal testing phaseout, and abolish Fauci’s National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Cutting all taxpayer funding for barbaric dog and cat experimentation is a no-brainer.

Last time around, I worked with President Trump and his daughter-in-law Lara, Matt Gaetz and others to stop the Department of Veterans Affairs from conducting inhumane experiments on dogs, like injecting puppies' arteries with latex to induce heart attacks. In addition to ending painful dog tests, Trump’s U.S. Department of Agriculture shut down the government’s largest cat lab where, no kidding, kittens were being force-fed cat and dog meat from disgusting Chinese wet markets.

Unfortunately, WCW has documented how the National Institutes of Health, the USDA and the Pentagon are still wasting tens of millions of dollars to torture pets in unnecessary experiments like injecting puppies with cocaine and shoving marbles in cats’ butts.

Next, we need to defund animal testing labs in China. As we’ve learned the hard way from the Wuhan lab leak, the U.S. government’s animal abuse is an international problem.

President Trump famously cut off Fauci’s funding to the Wuhan lab following a White Coat Waste investigation. But, Donald Trump, Jr and others recently helped WCW expose how the Biden-Harris NIH is still shipping tax money to dozens of other animal labs in China for disgusting dog testing and other animal experiments. Some of the animal labs being funded with our money by the NIH are even controlled by or tied to the Chinese Communist Party and People’s Liberation Army. We must stop this madness.
