EIGHT MORE MONKEYS. ANOTHER NIH ANIMAL LAB. New records obtained by White Coat Waste expose an April 2026 shipment of eight monkeys from a taxpayer-funded Wisconsin primate lab to NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana, infamously known as “Wuhan West.” WCW has exposed what happens to monkeys inside this lab: maximum-pain experiments involving deadly viruses, including Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. We also exposed a lab accident in which a worker was exposed to the deadly virus through a monkey bite, as well as an international virus-smuggling scandal involving RML researchers who now face federal criminal charges. Despite these alarming incidents, NIH continues to operate this animal lab. WCW is fighting back, suing NIH for records about its experiments on monkeys and other animals, as well as the virus-smuggling scandal. Taxpayers deserve answers about what’s happening behind closed doors at NIH’s dangerous animal labs — and why their money is being used to fund these experiments.

15 years old. Nearly all of them in a taxpayer-funded laboratory. Today we’re celebrating Marigold’s 15th birthday.  This video shows her “firsts” right after being set free. Before she had a name, she had a number: #11-245 — tattooed in both ears. White Coat Waste launched a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) investigation and campaign to expose and close Marigold’s lab. Dr. Fauci’s NIH department paid the Univ. of California, Davis, to abuse kittens. Two-month-old cats were to be locked alone in cages. UC Davis to ram tubes down each kitten’s throat. Force-feed them scrambled mouse brains. All were to be slaughtered. Your tax bill? $419,000. But two days after UC Davis received our records request, it CANCELED the experiments! Following our win, UC Davis also shuttered its cat breeding colony and retired the felines… including Marigold. This is a BFD. For decades, UC Davis maintained this colony. It supplied kittens for the nation’s worst experiments. Like NIH’s electro-shock tests at UC Irvine, the Smithsonian, and even the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs. From FOIA to FREEDOM, you saved Marigold’s life. Thank you! She went from lab cat to lap cat — and was adopted by our founder, Anthony Bellotti. White Coat Waste is the nation’s MOST EFFECTIVE organization getting animals out of labs — and the ONLY group to shut down federal feline labs in over forty years. Stop the Money. #StopTheMadness!

Happy #GlobalCatDay from RFK! Nicole Kleinstreuer — RFK’s “animal testing czar” — publicly promised to phase out experiments on cats. Since that promise, NIH gave the University of Minnesota’s cat laboratory a new grant worth up to $2.4M. 60 kittens — some just two months old — will have holes drilled into their skulls. Some will have strokes deliberately induced. All will be killed. @SecKennedy @RobertKennedyJr @NIHDirector_Jay @DrJBhattacharya @HHSResponse whitecoatwaste.org/blog/2026…

WATCH: White Coat Waste Founder Anthony Bellotti details the average life of a lab cat in a taxpayer-funded lab, including Marigold, Delilah, and Petite — the three he saved from continued suffering by defunding the labs and adopting them into his own home. Federal reporting for fiscal year 2025 showed more than 12,600 cats trapped in laboratories across the country. White Coat Waste is on a mission to expose and close the U.S. animal testing business for good. Stop the Money. Stop the Madness!

"White Coat Waste’s latest investigation identifies Clinvet... ties to Marshall BioResources... linked to Fauci-era NIAID funding." 📰 TAXPAYER-FUNDED CAT PIPELINE EXPOSES ANIMAL DEALER THAT SUPPLIED ANIMALS FOR COVID AND VIRUS EXPERIMENTS AT CORNELL AND COLORADO STATE Oct. 3, 2026 By Cassandra MacDonald, The Gateway Pundit "A little-known lab animal dealer has been quietly feeding cats into taxpayer-funded virus experiments at major universities, according to records obtained by the watchdog White Coat Waste. White Coat Waste’s latest investigation identifies Clinvet as a Class B dealer and research facility with ties to Marshall BioResources, one of the country’s largest commercial breeders of dogs and cats for laboratories. Shipping and donation records show Clinvet has supplied cats that ended up in COVID and feline immunodeficiency virus studies paid for by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At Cornell University, Clinvet donated cats for experiments in which researchers infected healthy animals with COVID, isolated them, and monitored them as they became sick. Some cats used as controls were killed without ever being infected. White Coat Waste says nearly $1.6 million was sub-awarded to Cornell from a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases grant for the work. A separate $650,000 USDA grant for the same experiments was extended in May 2026 and now runs through May 2027. New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets records obtained through an open records request show Clinvet transferred 45 cats to Colorado State University in May 2026. CSU maintains a breeding colony authorized to hold up to 120 cats for up to three years. The university’s protocol allows experimenters to surgically remove fetuses from pregnant cats and kill them for diagnostic assays. Mothers can be put through the procedure up to three times, with six months between surgeries. Kittens from the colony can be shipped to outside labs. Between 2021 and 2023, CSU sold or transferred 45 cats to Oklahoma State University and Redbeast Enterprises and collected at least $22,960. White Coat Waste matched names and microchip numbers in those records to an NIH-funded journal article. Cats identified as Matcha, Morgan, Dolores, Juliet, and Pierce were among the animals infected with FIV, inoculated with COVID, killed, and dissected. A separate NIAID-funded project at CSU, totaling $406,846, infected cats with viruses and then killed and dissected them. The findings come after White Coat Waste released its 'MAHA Betrayed' review, which documented more than $225 million in new NIH funding for dog and cat experiments awarded, supplemented, renewed, or extended since last February. The Gateway Pundit reported on that tally last month in coverage of an FDA purchase order for young baboons. Earlier Gateway Pundit reporting also detailed NIH’s quiet continuation of Fauci-era kitten experiments at its Bethesda campus and House Republican efforts, backed by White Coat Waste, to cut funding for painful dog and cat tests. Clinvet is not as well-known as Marshall BioResources, Ridglan Farms, or the now-shuttered Envigo beagle operation. Smaller Class B dealers and university breeding colonies keep the supply chain moving even as larger mills face scrutiny and as agency officials talk about shifting away from animal tests. The Cornell COVID cats were the subject of an earlier White Coat Waste investigation linked to Fauci-era NIAID funding. Anthony Bellotti, President and Founder of White Coat Waste, told The Gateway Pundit in a statement: 'White Coat Waste was the first to expose Dr. Fauci’s ‘pet-to-pain’ pipeline at puppy mills Ridglan Farms, Oak Hill Genetics, Envigo, and Marshall BioResources. Now, our first-of-its-kind investigation has exposed Clinvet— a key supplier of cats to Fauci-era labs that the USDA and NIH support.Inexplicably, legacy animal rights groups like PETA and PCRM still cheerlead for NIH Deputy Director Nicole Kleinstreuer — RFK’s ‘animal testing czar’ — even as she refuses to shut down this pipeline. Under her watch, NIH approved more than $225 million in new funding for dog and cat experiments, despite Kleinstreuer’s false claim that the spending predates her.' 'White Coat Waste is leading the fight to end the U.S. government’s cat-a-strophic waste and defund pet profiteers like Clinvet. The solution is simple: Stop the Money. Stop the Madness!'"

Friendly reminder, RFK: $225 million for dog and cat experiments isn’t a phaseout. It’s a payout.

🚨BREAKING: RFK is funding an NIH grant with a Siberian plague lab collaborator. - A new White Coat Waste (WCW) investigation exposes $779,689 in new NIH funding under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for an animal experimentation collaboration with a Russian lab that has conducted plague research with the Siberian facility at the center of a deadly lab leak controversy.  - Federal spending records and documents exclusively obtained by WCW show how, as recently as September 2026, RFK’s NIH renewed funding for University of Illinois animal experiments conducted in cooperation with Russia’s Institute of Cytology and Genetics (ICG) in Siberia. - Records show the state-run ICG has specifically collaborated on plague research with the now-infamous Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute, where a lab worker’s recent death has sparked concerns of another lab leak and cover-up. - RFK’s NIH has twice renewed taxpayer funding for this collaboration with a Siberian animal lab — even after the Biden administration cut off research collaborations with Russia following a WCW investigation in 2022. - WCW was the very first to expose how Dr. Fauci funded the Wuhan lab in 2020, and the first to show how NIH continued to fund and cover-up dangerous virus experiments at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, along with other setbacks for animals under RFK.  @HHSResponse @NIHDirector_Jay @DrJBhattacharya @SecKennedy @RobertKennedyJr whitecoatwaste.org/blog/2026…
