Washington – Please discover a assertion from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo concerning claims from the Nationwide Institutes of Well being that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s company did not fund a study that sedated beagles and let them get eaten alive by flies.
NIH’s denial that Fauci’s company funded the beagle atrocity is slightly too handy. NIH made the identical argument after PETA uncovered an NIH-funded experiment in China through which experimenters blasted monkeys with 100-decibel sound for 12 hours, withheld water and meals, sprayed them with chilly water, uncovered them to strobe lighting for 12 hours, and electro-shocked their ft. The printed research—just like the one on the beagle experiments—clearly listed NIH because the funder. Then, as now, NIH known as it a mistake. Is rewriting historical past the brand new protection towards complicity in torture? PETA calls on NIH to launch the unique, unredacted grant doc on the beagle experiments to confirm its declare.
PETA—whose motto reads, partly, that “animals will not be ours to experiment on”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For extra info on its newsgathering and reporting, please go to PETA.org or comply with the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
