TL;DR
- The NIH has awarded, supplemented, renewed, or extended over $225 million in funding for dog and cat experiments since February 2025.
- This spending far exceeds the NIH's $150 million investment in non-animal testing methods.
- Several other federal agencies, including the Navy, Department of Veterans Affairs, EPA, and FDA, have made significant progress in reducing or banning animal testing under the Trump administration.
- Specific examples of funded experiments include skull drilling on kittens, inducing glaucoma in kittens, and severing cats' spinal cords.
- White Coat Waste advocates for an immediate halt to new dog and cat grants, a ban on supplements and extensions, and an enforceable deadline with measurable spending cuts.
