Six years ago, a plucky new nonprofit called The White Coat Waste Project (where I serve as a Fellow) launched its first investigation exposing the US government’s numerous, tortuous, testing programs on puppies. One of the worst that they discovered was at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) where they were using taxpayer dollars to drill holes into beagles’ skulls, collapse the lungs of “friendly” dogs, inject latex into the puppies’ arteries, cut out the hearts of living dogs, inject dobermans with methamphetamines, and force hound dogs to run on treadmills for heart attack tests.
