Drain the swamp

Both political parties have since tripled the budget for forced taxpayer-funded animal experiments. Now they're trying to double it again.

Let's be clear about something: this isn't "science." It's taxpayer-funded torture.

And let's be clear about another thing: this senseless abuse won't end unless we destroy the root of the problem: wasteful government spending.

Sign and share this urgent petition: taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay for worthless government animal experiments!

It's official: Uncle Sam just raked in record high federal tax revenues according to this week's new Treasury Department report.

So how did the feds spend your money?

  • $6,275 for an "ergonomic" primate restraint chair. Trust me, this is no La-Z-Boy.
  • $9.5 million+ to fatten up pregnant monkeys with gummy bears, kill them, then dissect their brains. Their conclusion? Diet and exercise are good for you. (Payout: #5R24DK090964, #5R01DK079194).
  • $6 million+ to run beagles on treadmills until they suffer heart attacks. This welfare grant recipient defiantly states that "experiments will be repeated on a daily basis." (Payout: #5R01HL055473).

But is this how you want your money spent?

Enter: White Coat Waste Movement — the only bipartisan campaign that's uniting Democrats, Republicans, vegans, and meat eaters against the common enemy: worthless government animal experiments.

We've adopted a revolutionary new strategy to end this problem: drain the swamp and kick the taxpayer-funded animal abusers off the dole.

Think about it: if you cut into your pet cat's brain in your own basement, drilled holes in her skull, placed wire coils in her eyes, deafened her, then starved her to death, you'd pay a large fine.

But when a bureaucrat did this to an anonymous cat in a government laboratory he cashed a big check — paid for by American taxpayers and borrowed from China.

Let's be clear about something: this isn't "science." It's taxpayer-funded torture.

And let's be clear about another thing: this senseless abuse won't end unless we destroy the root of the problem: wasteful government spending.

20 years ago I witnessed this problem first hand during my internship in a taxpayer-funded animal experimentation lab.

Both political parties have since tripled the budget for forced taxpayer-funded animal experiments. Now they're trying to double it again.

That's why our innovative new strategy is so critical. And so urgently needed.

As I just told Glenn Beck's team during our first national TV exposé: "When the tax dollars are gone, the animal abusers are gone." [Watch Full Exposé: Glenn Beck’s “Socialized Science”]

And that's why a top-ranking government animal experimentation bureaucrat just declared that our campaign "should be criminalized."

Major new campaign developments are coming and we'll keep you in the loop. But we can't get this done alone!

So please sign and share this urgent petition: taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay for worthless government animal experiments!
