NIH halting taxpayer-funded dog and cat testing after outcry from Republican lawmakers

By Ross O'Keefe | Washington Examiner Hours after Republican lawmakers sent a letter to National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya asking him to end dog and cat testing, two top officials at the agency said they are “phasing out” testing on the animals.

In a continuation of his first term, President Donald Trump has bolstered his reputation as the best friend of animals by canceling grants for experiments on monkeys, dogs, and cats. With several moves, including his targeting of Harvard University research grants, Trump has recently ended several “cruel” research projects long opposed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the White Coat Waste Project.
