On this episode of the podcast, Justin Goodman, Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Public Policy at White Coat Waste Project, joins Amanda Head to discuss the fight against government-funded animal testing. Goodman sheds light on a shocking $20 billion spent annually on these experiments, with 60,000 dogs and cats still trapped in labs. He shares insights from a recent congressional briefing with figures like Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), focused on defunding these cruel practices.

Head and Goodman dive into the darker side of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s ‘legacy,’ including a $22 million USDA cannibalism project, while also taking time to celebrate victories like ending kitten experiments at UC Davis and dog and cat testing at Department of Veterans Affairs. Goodman also outlines ambitious plans to cut funding to Chinese labs and abolish animal testing by NIAID.
