Bethesda, Md – A government research laboratory, responsible for conducting countless, cruel experiments on beagles over the past four decades, has been shuttered. National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya recently made the announcement during a news segment.
According to the White Coat Waste Project, 2133 beagles died in brutal septic shock experiments at the laboratory center. According to the agency, beagles had pneumonia-causing bacteria pumped directly into their lungs, bleeding them out, and forcing them into septic shock. After four days of infection, researchers killed the beagles and stuffed their bodies into a refrigerator. The organization first exposed what was happening at the government lab in 2016 and was instrumental in getting it closed.

UPDATE: May 4, 2025
VICTORY! Following WCW’s campaign, the NIH has confirmed that it has shut down its septic shock experiments on beagles, which were the agency’s last in-house dog tests.
The announcement has resulted in praise from several lawmakers, including Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, who said, ““I hope this is only the beginning of NIH’s efforts to eliminate funding for inhumane and outdated animal experiments.” And Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) who called it a “horrific practice” and said that “testing on any dog, of any breed, for any reason, must be outlawed.”
