End Taxpayer-Funded Cat Experiments
from Washington DC News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Twelve thousand cats are trapped in U.S. labs—some taxpayer-funded—where abandoned shelter cats are sometimes snatched for cruel experiments. Shocking footage from an NIH-backed lab at the University of Florida revealed kittens bred to suffer from devastating brain disease, leading to paralysis, dementia, and death. But hope is rising: a major cat lab was shut down, survivors rescued, and federal funding cuts enacted at the VA, Pentagon, and Navy. Now, Congress is poised to slash funding across the board at NIH and USDA, with the strongest language in years. And with bipartisan support, Violet’s Law would let every lab cat find a forever home—turning tragedy into rescue. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
