‘You have a right to know what’s going on, what vivisectors are spending money on – this is your tax dollars at work.’

Check out this must read piece from U.S. News and World Report : “Beagles ‘Lobby’ Against Taxpayer-Funded Animal Experiments.”

Journalist Nikki Schwab talks with Anthony Bellotti of the White Coat Waste team and Hamilton (a.k.a. “Hammy”) of the Beagle Freedom Project – a beagle abused in the government’s forced taxpayer-funded animal experiments.

Money quote:

To hound the government about paying for these experiments, Bellotti’s group is launching its first set of ad spots later this week. ‘The bad news is the awareness is terrible, but the message is getting out there because you have ambassadors like Hamilton walking around and spreading the message.’ Bellotti is also pursuing legislative options.

And this:

‘I don’t think you can get a much better lobbyist than this,’ Bellotti said, giving Hammy a pat. ‘You have a right to know what’s going on, what they’re spending money on – this is your tax dollars at work.’
