The National Institutes of Health canceled a nearly $2 million taxpayer-funded trial that would have force-fed puppies experimental drugs, after a Washington Free Beacon report.
NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is helmed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, was slated to spend $1,836,453 in taxpayer dollars to test an experimental hay fever drug on mice, rats, and dogs, including puppies, according to funding documents obtained by the White Coat Waste Project, a government watchdog group, and provided to the Free Beacon in May. The most severe symptoms of hay fever, also known as seasonal allergies, are a runny nose and sneezing.
Following the Free Beacon report, Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) launched an investigation into NIAID’s project, describing the puppy tests as "invasive, painful, and potentially deadly procedures." Fauci informed Ernst late last month that the puppy trials are now canceled, according to a copy of the June 22 letter sent to Ernst and obtained exclusively by the Free Beacon.
Ernst said the cancellation is a win for the taxpayers and should serve as a wake-up call to the NIH that Congress will not sit by while it abuses animals in the name of science. NIH’s animal tests have stoked anger from lawmakers and put the U.S. health agency under a microscope, particularly as questions linger about Fauci and the NIH’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. NIH’s funding for labs in Russia and China also have generated concerns about the agency’s priorities and led Congress to ban the practice last week.
A company called the Inimmune Corporation was tapped by NIAID to perform at least five separate experiments on dogs that were to include force-feeding them experimental drugs for several months. This included a proposal to purchase "six-month old puppies" to be used in the tests.

That’s why farcical quit... they stopped torturing puppies
A few Months ago, NBC Nightly News had a Puff Piece about 4,000 adorable Beagles being put up for adoption by the US government.
Not one mention of WHY the USG had 4,000 Beagles or what they have been doing to them for the last 30 years.
Force Feed the Drugs to Fauci. Make him suffer and cry in severe pain. Oh, don’t forget to cut his vocal cords so he will cry quieter.
Go To Hell Fauci. The Sooner The Better !!!
The beagles came from a breeding facility in Viginia, slated to become lab experiments.
