White Coat Waste and House Republicans are delivering major victories for taxpayers and animals, slashing funding for wasteful and inhumane dog, cat, and transgender animal experiments across FY2027 appropriations bills.
GOP lawmakers have advanced provisions that prohibit taxpayer dollars from funding painful and unnecessary tests on pets and block grotesque experiments involving gender-transition procedures on animals.
The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies advanced its FY27 NIH Appropriations Bill with strong language defunding dog and cat testing. The bill also bans NIH funding for “research on vertebrate animals for the purpose of studying the effects of drugs, surgery, or other interventions to alter the human body” so that it “no longer correspond[s] to its biological sex.”
Rep. Paul Gosar led the effort to defund these transgender experiments on animals, which WCW previously exposed. The push was supported by Rep. Michael Cloud and 19 other Republicans. Lawmakers warned that NIH had already wasted millions on “contrived animal tests” involving invasive surgeries, hormone therapies, and other procedures on mice, rats, and monkeys to test gender-transition interventions.
Additionally, the EPA Appropriations Bill cuts funding for dog testing. Rep. Michael Cloud led the charge on this one, which targets wasteful mandates that WCW exposed.
Just passed the House Appropritions Committee thanks to @RepMichaelCloud @HouseAppropsGOP!

Two WCW-backed bipartisan amendments to the FDA-Agriculture Appropriations, led by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, passed the full House by voice vote and are expected to be included in the final bill.
Thank you @RepNicole for your outstanding leadership on bipartisan efforts with WCW to cut wasteful USDA spending on dog and cat testing and to eliminate FDA red tape mandating beagle abuse! https://t.co/SHvxAPBsRI

In her floor speech, Malliotakis declared, “Americans love their pets. They are members of our families. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize painful experiments on dogs and cats.”
WCW celebrated the wins, writing on X: “WINNING! The US House just passed two WCW-backed bipartisan amendments… Thank you @RepNancyMace @RepGosar @RepTedLieu @RepLangworthy for championing these life-saving and cost-saving measures!”

“This is the strongest language I’ve seen in my years tracking this stuff that’s made it this far in the [legislative] process,” Naomi Charalambakis, director of communications and science policy at Americans for Medical Progress, a pro-animal experimentation lobbyist, told Science.com.
In a statement about these massive wins, WCW President and founder Anthony Bellotti told The Gateway Pundit, “We’re proud that White Coat Waste’s investigations, campaigns, and lobbying—including our blockbuster exposés of Fauci’s funding for the Wuhan lab and beagle tests—have made slashing funding for animal testing a priority for Republicans and MAGA. Key language we secured in this year’s government spending bills to defund dog and cat labs and slash animal testing red tape builds on our precedent-setting progress to cut waste and save animals. The solution is simple: Stop the money. Stop the madness!”
The measures will now head to the full House and Senate.
