End the NIH’s balloon-swallowing and waterboarding experiments!

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds a lab at the University of Louisville that purchases from a kitten mill, severs cats’ spines, rams water down their throats, and forces cats to swallow inflatable balloons. Your tax bill? $1.7 million!

Congress is setting the NIH’s budget right now. Please complete the form below to urge your legislators to end wasteful government spending on cat experiments!

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName},

As a {user_data~State} taxpayer and your constituent, I was troubled to learn from government watchdog White Coat Waste Project (WCW) that the National Institutes of Health spent over $1.7 million at a University of Louisville lab that purchases from an Envigo-style kitten mill, severs cats’ spines, rams water down their throats, and forces cats to swallow inflatable balloons.

I was also troubled to learn from WCW investigations that my tax dollars are paying to torture cats in federal labs—some as young as three months old—in mad science experiments run by bureaucrats in white lab coats:

• The Dept. of Veterans Affairs wasted $5 million to cripple and asphyxiate kittens.

• The NIH also shipped over $500,000 to a lab in Russia that cut apart cats’ brains and forced them to run on treadmills.

• The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture wasted $22 million on “kitten cannibalism” experiments. It rounded up cat meat from China’s wet markets and fed it to kittens inside a federal lab. 3,000 kittens were slaughtered and incinerated by your government.

I hope you will join bipartisan efforts to urge federal agencies to cut wasteful spending on cat and kitten experiments.

Thank you for your leadership and your consideration.

Thank you,
