On this episode of the podcast, Justin Goodman, Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Public Policy at White Coat Waste Project (WCW) discussed his organization’s efforts to end animal testing, particularly at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Since 2016, WCW have exposed and fought against cruel experiments, including the NIH’s septic shock experiments on Beagles, which killed over 2,100 dogs over 40 years. Goodman highlighted the bipartisan support from lawmakers like Senators Rand Paul and Joni Ernst, and the significant progress made under the Trump Administration. He criticized PETA for not contributing significantly to these efforts and emphasized the need for continued advocacy to end federal funding for animal testing.
