Fauci Blesses Feeding Puppies’ Heads to Flies (Report)
Nationwide Institute of Allergy and Infectious Ailments Director Anthony Fauci has come below public assault over torment funded by his company. That is President Joe Biden’s likelihood at change—it’s by no means been clearer that Fauci’s subsequent boss should be professional–fashionable science and anti-animal testing. New stories allege that Fauci’s Nationwide Institutes of Well being (NIH) division greenlit exams wherein experimenters drugged beagle puppies and locked their heads in cages stuffed with hungry, contaminated sandflies. The drug exams have been apparently executed though the Meals and Drug Administration doesn’t require new medicine to be examined on canine.
Fauci’s reported experiments on canine are simply the tip of the iceberg: At NIH, the rot runs deep and it goes to the highest. However PETA has the answer. It’s referred to as the Research Modernization Deal: Developed by PETA scientists, it outlines the failure of animal experiments and supplies a method for eliminating them.

NIH is mired in dangerous science that’s demanded by animal experimenters themselves. These puppies’ torment is a simply sliver of the total scope of NIH’s cruelty—which PETA has been exposing for years. In 2019, whereas showing on Tucker Carlson Tonight, PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo mentioned how NIH wastes billions in tax {dollars} on merciless, ineffective animal experiments. Referring to the company’s squandering of tens of billions of taxpayer {dollars} on painful and lethal experiments on animals that do nothing to advance our understanding of human well being, Guillermo stated that “it’s a rip-off of the very best order.”
For months—effectively earlier than his resignation announcement—PETA had been calling for NIH Director Francis “Blind Eye” Collins to be fired. Now, with Collins quickly to be on the outs, we have now a uncommon alternative to affect the course of scientific analysis within the U.S. and assist finish many years of merciless and wasteful animal experimentation—and we should seize it. For these beagle puppies and different canine …
… for the monkeys who’re held prisoner on the seven remaining U.S. National Primate Research Centers and deserve a lot greater than to be experimented on and killed …
… for the brain-damaged monkeys Elisabeth Murray and different NIH experimenters terrify with pretend however realistic-looking snakes and spiders as a part of a decades-long undertaking that has price you and different taxpayers $47 million and has not led to a single treatment and even remedy …
… and the numerous different animals imprisoned in authorities laboratories, we should urge Biden to not rent one other “dinosaur” of an NIH director.

Help us flood Biden’s inbox with messages urging him to nominate a director who’s dedicated to bringing the company into the 21st century by investing in cutting-edge, animal-free analysis strategies. Because the Biden administration gears as much as appoint new NIH management, please take a minute to urge the president politely to decide on effectively:
Tell Biden New NIH Director Must Be Pro–Modern Science, Anti-Animal Testing
It’s essential that the president appoint a brand new NIH director who places America’s well being first and firmly says no to all of the animal experimenters who’ve been driving coverage on the company for the final decade. The areas that may truly assist people should be funded, together with epidemiological research, in vitro work utilizing human cells, integrative modeling and molecular simulations or three-dimensional printed human tissues, cell-based assays, and organs-on-a-chip.
