Anew report published by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-KY, highlights more than $1 trillion worth of taxpayer money spent on projects that he argues wastes and abuses taxpayer money.

Tucked in the report are three programs funded by federal agencies using millions of taxpayer dollars to experiment on cats.

The details are explicit and gruesome.

Through the DOD’s, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), $10,851,439 of taxpayer dollars were allocated to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct “grotesque and extremely invasive experiments on cats.”

The report also notes that under the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci, since 2022, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the U.S. Department of Agriculture allocated $2.24 million in grants to Cornell University to conduct feline COVID experiments.

Through a University of Illinois NIAID subgrant, Cornell received $1.59 million over the past two years in addition to a $650,000 USDA grant, bringing the total to $2.24 million, the report notes.

The experiments led to the suffering and death of 30 cats, according to the records of the experiments, the report notes.

This involved slicing open the backs of male cats to expose their spinal cords and inserting electrodes to send electric shocks “to make cats have an erection.”

The cats were then subjected to “even more electric shocks, sometimes for up to 10 minutes at a time, before having their spinal cords severed to paralyze their lower bodies,” the report states. “And just for good measure, the shocks continued for another 10 minutes. All this, in the name of ‘science.’”

One of the early indicators of psychopath tendencies in children is torturing of animals.

It looks like DARPA has shown its true colors.

Black.

Cats are good for target practice but they shouldn't be torchered.

I think the word you're looking for noob is 'tortured'.

Unbelievable waste of our money and torture of animals. I expect we will see far more of these disgusting federal bureaucrats spending wild amounts of money on vicious nonsense once Musk and Vivek get in power. Cut half their numbers, close down their facilities, sell of their office and test equipment.

To paraphrase Trump:

“They’re torturing the dogs. They’re torturing the cats.”

Horrific torture of cats and dogs. This and Fauci’s beagles. Psychopaths do that. What’s next for these psychopaths? Human beings?

Anyone torturing a cat deserves to be put in a cage with a hungry tiger.

Sadly, the ship has already sailed on that one, hasn't it.

Can cats actually be tortured? Is there some projection here?

If they are willing to torture cats they would have no problem torturing humans.

Budget cuts are not going to fix that.

These folks need to put somewhere where they can no longer be a danger to themselves or others.

I wouldn’t shoot someone’s cat if I were you. First of all it’s cruel, cowardly, and inhumane. Secondly, the owner might come and shoot you in response.

You haven’t seen the reports of Fauci’s experiments on children?
