Shady Zoo Sent Bats to NIH to be Infected with Coronavirus Shipped from Wuhan Lab

From WCW White Coat Waste Project
October 2023

White Coat Waste uncovered new details about how a shady roadside zoo whose curator was an NIH animal experimenter shipped off bats to a deadly government virus superlab to be infected with a coronavirus obtained from the notorious Wuhan lab that experts believe caused COVID.

Just in time for Halloween, the U.S. Senate has unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution led by Waste Warrior awardee Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) and Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) designating October 24-31 as Bat Week.

White Coat Waste Project’s (WCW) newest investigation highlights that bats need all the help they can get to protect them from government abuse.

We’ve uncovered new details about how a shady roadside zoo whose curator was an NIH animal experimenter shipped off bats to a deadly government virus superlab to be infected with a coronavirus obtained from the notorious Wuhan lab that experts believe caused COVID.

  • WCW has uncovered how a shady Maryland zoo whose curator was an NIH animal experimenter shipped off bats to a deadly NIH virus superlab overseen by Dr. Fauci
  • Fauci’s NIH lab in Montana spent millions to infect bats with a coronavirus obtained directly from the Wuhan Lab—one year before COVID. Then it likely killed the animals.
  • The deadly bat experiment was funded with NIH grants that have received over $20 million in taxpayer money to date, one of which is still active
  • WCW recently exposed how the same NIH virus lab conducts maximum pain experiments on baby pigs and primates from Fauci’s Monkey Island
  • The White Coat Waste Project (WCW) was the very first group to expose how U.S. taxpayers funded the Wuhan Lab

Located in Thurmont, Maryland, about an hour outside of Washington, DC, Catoctin Wildlife Preserve (CWP) has a history of animal welfare violations. One recent visitor left a one-star review and wrote, “How is this place even legal?! I left heart broken and sad.” It even earned a “poor” rating from Charity Navigator.

Federal records obtained by WCW show that CWP confined 523 federally-regulated animals as of April 2023, including 241 bats.

Confinement at a crummy roadside zoo isn’t the worst of what’s in store for these animals, though. We’ve uncovered how the person who is the zoo’s curator and in charge of the animals’ well-being, CWP’s “Director of Animal Health,” worked at the in-house animal testing labs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 2003-2012!

And, you guessed it, under their supervision, CWP shipped animals to an NIH in-house lab, then run by Dr. Anthony Fauci, for cruel and deadly experiments!
