Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is continuing President Donald Trump's promise to Make America Great Again by putting an end to brutal puppy and kitten experiments at labs in the United States and around the world.

In a press release on Friday from the White Coat Waste Project (WCW), it said that, under Hegseth's direction, the DOD has terminated millions of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded dog and cat abuse contracts around the world following an investigation by the group.

"Following a years-long White Coat Waste campaign, and just days after an exclusive new White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation uncovered over $57 million in active Army and other Pentagon-funded dog and cat experiments worldwide, Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has cut millions in contracts for the cruel labs we exposed and specifically credited WCW for bringing them to his attention," the release read.

According to the WCW project, the experiments that they were doing on pups and cats with our money are truly abhorrent. The report dives into what the animals were put through.

Warning: the following is not for the faint of heart.

The report read:

The fifteen ongoing DOD-funded experiments unearthed by WCW included implanting electrodes in cats' heads and blasting them with loud noises, poisoning beagles with experimental drugs, intentionally detaching dogs' retinas, slicing dogs' muscles, and other barbaric abuses in laboratories in the U.S., Canada, Italy, and Australia. 

Other experiments that have come to an end with cuts by the DOD that were exposed by the WCW include:

May 17: The DOD canceled $10 million Navy-funded cat experiments where cats had marbles rammed into their rectums—first exposed by a WCW FOIA lawsuit.

May 27: Navy Secretary Phelan enacted a Navy-wide ban on all dog and cat testing—citing WCW's investigation and campaign.

May 29: The Trump Administration terminated a DOD-funded contract to drug 300 beagles per week in China—first uncovered by WCW.

The move by Hegseth and the DOD follows an earlier move by National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Jay Bhattacharya, who announced the closure of the agency's last beagle laboratory, ending controversial experiments on the NIH campus linked to Dr. Anthony Fauci.

As my RedState colleague Rusty Weiss reported:

Fauci's former employing agency, the National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID), an arm of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), used taxpayer funds to finance cruel experiments on dogs.

The White Coat Waste Project (WCW) exposed that experimentation in the fall of 2021. Some of the testing is difficult to stomach even in description alone, let alone the videos and images uncovered showing the deplorable conditions in which these beagles were left to suffer and die.

One such experiment reportedly included $375,000 given to a Tunisian research lab that placed beagle puppies' heads in cages filled with sand flies, which ate them alive. Fauci conceded to a House subcommittee that he "signed off" on grants that funded the tests.
