Republican members of Congress led by South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace are calling for the House Oversight Committee to hold a hearing on taxpayer-funded animal testing under Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci’s agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was recently revealed to have spent millions in taxpayer money on abusive animal testing by taxpayer watchdog group White Coat Waste Project. Multiple studies funded by NIAID resulted in the torture and euthanizing of dozens of beagles, despite the Food and Drug Administration declaring the animal research in question unnecessary for new drug development.
“Over the last two weeks, we have learned about the barbaric, taxpayer-funded, government-led experimentations on animals — specifically puppies,” Mace said in a release.
