White Coat Waste

Thank you for working with the watchdog who wins, Congresswoman Nancy Mace.

Stop the Money. !

Throwback to meeting Uno, the first beagle rescued from Fauci's NIH puppy experiments.

Because of White Coat Waste Uno and many others now have loving homes instead of a lab cage.

We will never stop fighting for all of God's creatures.

Nicole Kleinstreuer — NIH’s “Animal Testing Czar” — publicly promised to phase out testing on dogs. Since that promise, NIH gave the University of Utah more than $2M in additional taxpayer money.

According internal records obtained by White Coat Waste, 180 dogs — mostly young hounds — will be cut open and killed.

Documents obtained by White Coat Waste (WCW) through state and federal open records requests reveal that 180 dogs — mostly young hounds — will be cut open, mutilated, and killed in these NIH-funded studies.

“White Coat Waste Project — a bipartisan group founded by a GOP strategist — first exposed the allegations of experiments on innocent pups, claiming NIAID approved a $375,000 grant to researchers based in Tunisia, who drugged the pooches and confined their heads in mesh cages full of infected sand flies.”

📰 FAUCI’S ANIMAL TORTURE COVER-UP
Pleads Fifth when COVID grilling gets too hot!

The Globe, August 24, 2026

Fuming Dr. Anthony Fauci — America’s former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director — tapped “media friends” and political allies to help quash the 2021 hubbub over allegations that his agency funded painful experiments on beagles that were ultimately put to death, according to records recently released by Sen. Rand Paul.

Fauci’s diary entries — which Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says were dug up by the Trump administration from 11 separate government servers before their release — suggest the nation’s former COVID czar worked overtime to protect his image and shake the shameful stain of what became known as Beagle-gate.

White Coat Waste Project — a bipartisan group founded by a GOP strategist — first exposed the allegations of experiments on innocent pups, claiming NIAID approved a $375,000 grant to researchers based in Tunisia, who drugged the pooches and confined their heads in mesh cages full of infected sand flies. The project’s report claims the biting insects ate the helpless animals alive before the canines were killed.

At the time, Republican and Democratic members of Congress condemned the alleged experiment and other supposed acts — and the released notes by Fauci appear to show the doc scrambling to save his reputation.

“It is so very clear now that this is a concerted effort to discredit me and assassinate my character,” Fauci writes in an entry dated Oct. 26, 2021. “We have countered the attacks regarding the Beagle dog experiments, but still the attacks continue falsely claiming that NIAID funded the studies.”

In November 2021, Fauci noted that he received a call from former President Barack Obama, who “expressed concern” and offered to “call up” then-President Joe Biden’s chief of staff or other officials “to have the administration be proactive in countering these lies.”

The now-retired bureaucrat also discussed his media pals in the diaries, claiming a Washington Post scribe “agreed to write a story trying to uncover the source of this organized effort to discredit me.”

After the release of the records, Fauci, 85, appeared before the Senate to face questioning regarding the origins of COVID-19 and federal funding of risky “gain of function” research in China that some have blamed for the deadly pandemic.

Seemingly rattled Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment about 110 times during the contentious hearing, invoking his right against potential self-incrimination — and accused Paul of making “repeated slanderous comments” and trying to put him “behind bars” over his handling of the health scourge.

Yet, agitated Paul continued to press, pointing out the doc was given a full pardon from Biden in January 2025, and vowed, “There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify.”

“White Coat Waste, the campaign group which uncovered that the NIH had funded potentially dangerous work at the Wuhan lab, called for the maximum penalty.

Anthony Bellotti, founder of White Coat Waste, said:

‘David Morens deserves the maximum penalty for conspiring to defraud taxpayers and for hiding what really happened in Wuhan.’"

David Morens, 78, faces up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to evade federal public record laws

“The taxpayer watchdog group White Coat Waste Project (WCW), which first exposed NIH’s gain-of-function funding in Wuhan and the infamous ‘BeagleGate’ dog experiments, previously warned that Morens was not acting alone.

Responding to news of the guilty plea, the founder of White Coat Waste, Anthony Bellotti, told The Gateway Pundit:

‘In April 2020, White Coat Waste was the very first to expose Fauci’s funding for gain-of-function animal experiments at the Wuhan lab — and ever since we’ve led the campaign to hold Fauci and his cronies accountable for abusing animals and their COVID cover-up. David Morens deserves the maximum penalty for conspiring to defraud taxpayers and for hiding what really happened in Wuhan.’"

- A new White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation exposes Marshall BioResources (aka Marshall Farms) — the nation’s largest commercial breeder of dogs and cats for labs — as a key supplier for cruel taxpayer-funded experiments.

- Marshall confines more than 15,000 dogs and 1,100 cats at its breeding facilities in upstate New York, according to its most recent federal inspections.

- Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) records and other documents uncovered by WCW tie dogs and cats from Marshall to ongoing National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded experiments that involve inducing heart failure, obesity, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, decerebration, toxoplasmosis infection, and other painful, ultimately deadly, procedures.

- Marshall has supplied beagles for some of the most disturbing experiments ever exposed by WCW, including Fauci-funded tests that cut the dogs’ vocal cords, infested them with ticks and flies, and force-fed them experimental drugs.

- Just since Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took office in February 2025, the NIH has spent over $175 million in new funding on cat and dog experimentation, including renewing support for many of Fauci’s dog and cat labs that abuse animals from Marshall.

- WCW is working with Congress to cut taxpayer funding to Marshall Farms and all other dog and cat labs and their shady suppliers.

“For decades opposition to animal testing was concentrated in the political left. But no longer.”

The Economist: White Coat Waste led conservatives to the cause — and gave the animal rights movement “more sway than ever.”

📰 How a Bipartisan Coalition Is Taking Aim at Animal Research
America’s animal-rights activists have more sway than ever

August 5, 2026

“A central figure in the growing right-wing opposition is Anthony Bellotti, a long-time Republican operative. His organisation, White Coat Waste, casts animal research as fiscal profligacy, and ties it to issues that already animate conservatives.”

“‘I don’t care about the science,’ Mr Bellotti says defiantly. ‘I’m the guy who cuts the money.’”

“In Mr Trump’s first term Mr Bellotti produced campaigns alleging that reckless experiments on animals were responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic…”

“By the time Mr Trump returned to office in January 2025 White Coat Waste had spent four years cultivating Republican allies and drawing up lists of labs to target.”

“One of Mr Bellotti’s most powerful surrogates has been Laura Loomer…”

Loomer: “Scientists who conduct animal experiments are ‘abusers…on par with serial killers.’”

“…when she described the alleged details of some experiments to Mr Trump he was revulsed, calling them ‘sick’ and ‘disgusting.’”

“The campaign to end research on animals has forged one of the most eclectic coalitions in American politics.”

“Mainstream Democrats, progressives, right-wing populists, libertarians and the MAGA movement all find themselves working towards the same aim.”

“And they are already making progress.”

“American scientists can see the writing on the wall.”

“Petite” — the tiny cat who toppled a giant.

On , we’re honoring the little lab cat who left a big legacy.

Before she had a name, she had a number: . Tattooed in each ear.

Born in Waverly, NY.

Sold by Liberty Research — aka Marshall BioResources — for $695 to the U.S. government’s largest cat laboratory.

Weighed just 4.9 pounds. They called her “Lil Petite.”

The USDA’s “Kitten Slaughterhouse” — just 30 minutes from the White House — bred, killed, and burned 10-week-old kittens on your dime:

- 6,635 animals slaughtered and incinerated
- Force-fed dog and cat meat from Chinese wet markets
- Your tax bill? $22.5 million

White Coat Waste exposed how the feds sourced dog and cat meat from China.

Chinese experimenters transported the meat in their personal luggage — and fed tongues, hearts, and brains to kittens in Petite’s lab.

Think about that: dog and cat meat abroad. Taxpayer-funded animal testing at home.

And Dr. Fauci funded it.

“Government scientists fed lab cats the meat of other cats and dogs, purchased in markets overseas.” — The Washington Post

Cat experimentation raged inside the U.S. government.

But for 40 years, no animal rights group shut down a single federal cat lab.

Until White Coat Waste stepped in.

We investigated Petite’s lab, exposed kitten cannibalism to the world, and built a bipartisan coalition in Congress.

And shut it down.

White Coat Waste founder Anthony Bellotti adopted Petite.

And Petite became the face — and the heartbeat — of our campaign, sparking a chain reaction for cats across the federal government:

- Closed all Veterans Affairs cat labs
- Banned cat testing by the U.S. Navy
- Defunded painful cat labs at the Dept. of Defense

Petite ended the culture of losing for cats — and ended an era of federal feline abuse.

But her story didn’t stop there.

After following the Chinese money trail from Petite’s lab, White Coat Waste asked a simple question:

What else was the U.S. government funding in China?

The answer led our investigators to roughly 30 Chinese labs authorized by NIH — including the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

In 2020, White Coat Waste became the first to expose how Fauci funded the likely COVID lab leak center.

From a lab cat to the lab leak — this is how the world first learned who paid for the pandemic.

Lil Petite passed away in 2024. But her legacy lives on.

On , we honor Petite — and the legacy she left behind.

Stop the Money. !
