    Default Fauci cancels $1.8 million drug testing on beagle puppies

    Fauci has canceled a plan to start new tests of allergy medicine on beagles, some as young as 6 months.

    In a letter to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and promoted by the White Coat Waste Project, Fauci said that instead of dogs, the new hay fever drug will be tested on rodents.

    “Although the contract to Inimmune Corporation proposed the use of murine and canine preclinical animal models, after consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the company elected to proceed using two rodent models only," wrote Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "No experiments utilizing the canine model are being conducted under this contract."

    What’s more, he said there is no funding for the testing headed to China, another concern of Ernst.

    The letter was a big victory for Ernst and the animal rights group, which had started a popular hashtag campaign against the testing: #BeagleGate.

    In a statement shared with Secrets, Ernst said, “Dr. Fauci was barking up the wrong tree when he decided to use government dollars on dog testing. These inhumane practices have no place in our government — much less on the taxpayer’s dime. Thankfully, after voicing our concerns and shining a light on these heinous tactics, taxpayers can rest easy knowing their hard-earned money is not going towards dog abuse.”

    Devin Murphy, with the White Coat Waste Project, added, “We’re thrilled that following White Coat Waste Project’s latest #BeagleGate investigation and outstanding advocacy by Senator Joni Ernst, Dr. Fauci’s $1.8 million ‘runny nose’ experiments on beagle puppies have been completely canceled. This is a decisive victory in the war on waste, and sends a message to big-spending white coats across the federal government: taxpayers should not be forced to pay for wasteful, unnecessary, and cruel experiments on puppies and other animals.”

    Testing on dogs and puppies? Not on my watch! The only testing we should be doing is how much love we can show them!

    A little off topic but.......After adopting our last two dogs from the Humane society I would say that I would never get a pet any other way from now on. Just a fantastic experience all the way around. Point being....If any of you are thinking about getting a new pet in the future PLEASE consider the adoption route. Its a second chance for pet to get a good home.

    Examiner crud? Damn you're desperate. I knew the source was a rag, if only I was a betting man.

    Agreed. All of ours are rescues. I've only bought one AKC when my ex-wife had a plan to breed beagles. She discovered how much work it was going be so we neutered a championship female hunting beagle.

    It's because he did lie to America that we distrust him.

    The guy had ZERO power - and yet from the right, he got 100% of the blame for Trump's economic crash...
