NIH says shocking images of beagles being eaten alive by sandflies in cruel lab test had nothing to do with them or Fauci (but admits to similar ones AND cutting the dogs' vocal chords to keep them quiet)

• Photos of beagles being eaten alive by sand flies have angered and disgusted the United States
• The dogs were used in experiments - carried out on U.S. soil and internationally - into leishmaniasis, a serious parasitic disease transmitted by sand flies
• Some of the experiments were funded by the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is headed by Dr Anthony Fauci
• On Monday night the National Institutes of Health, which encompasses NIAID, said that the photos of the beagles were not from their experiments
• They did however admit to severing the animals' vocal chords to stop them barking while in the laboratories

WCW Statement on #BeagleGate and Dr. Fauci
Posted by Amanda Nieves

27 October 2021
We are proud that our blockbuster #BeagleGate investigation and campaign has united taxpayers across the country to oppose cruel and wasteful animal experiments funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

As a result of this viral media attention, we want to reaffirm our goal and make it absolutely clear:

We are asking Dr. Fauci for answers on the NIH’s beagle experiments — and we are asking him to end his long history of wasteful government spending in animal labs. That’s all.

As a single-issue organization, we do not take any stand on Dr. Fauci and the NIH’s other policies or issues — masks, vaccine mandates, the overall COVID response, or frankly anything else. We’re only working to end his funding for these cruel experiments.

Since White Coat Waste Project launched our first campaign in 2016, we have held federal government agency chiefs who fund animal testing accountable in both Democratic and Republican administrations.

That’s how we successfully pressured the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) to cut its dog testing to an all-time low in spite of hostile VA leadership during President Trump’s administration.

From the VA, to the USDA, EPA, FDA, NIH, and beyond, we expose ALL government agencies who fund cruel and wasteful tax-funded animal experimentation…and lead the campaigns to defund the experiments.

All Americans, Democrats and Republicans alike, can unite on this one point: taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay $20 billion for painful and wasteful animal experiments.

That’s all we do. We’re proud to be a big tent!

To be clear: it is 100% possible to stand “shoulder to shoulder” with Dr. Fauci on most public policies and issues…but go “toe to toe” with him on the issue of beagle experiments.

We are non-partisan and are proud to work with Congressmembers on both sides of the aisle.

Hechmi Louzir: No dog has been mistreated in our laboratories!

The director of the Pasteur Institute, Hechmi Louzir, commented on Monday, October 25, 2021, the scandal that erupted in the United States after the discovery of a laboratory, located in Tunisia and funded by Anthony Fauci, in which would be practiced particularly cruel scientific experiments on Beagle dogs.

Hechmi Louzir confirmed the existence of a research project taking place in a laboratory at the Institut Pasteur, however, denying all cruel practices committed against the animals on which scientific experiments are carried out.

“Scientists have always conducted experiments on animals to invent treatments that save the lives of humans but also animals. It is common and normal and we are not here to mistreat animals, quite the contrary. The Covid-19 vaccine that millions of us received has been tested on animals, even monkeys, and so have many other vaccines. As for the cruelty, the dogs have not been mistreated and a team of vets are even there to take care of them. They are all alive and well and no their vocal cords have not been severed, ”he said.

Hechmi Louzir explained that the project in question is funded by the National Institute of Health, that it is headed by three teams, including a Tunisian team. The goal of the project concerns Leishmaniasis and its transmission to children.

It will be recalled that Anthony Fauci, American immunologist and president of the Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is accused of having financed experiments where puppies were locked in cages with hungry sandflies which would eat them alive, and this, in order to test the efficacy of an experimental drug. Anthony Fauci is also chief public health adviser in Joe Biden's government. A position he has held with eight successive US presidents, from Ronald Reagan to Joe Biden.

The NIAID reportedly spent $ 1.68 million in taxpayer dollars on the experiments, according to documents obtained by the dog-fighting NGO, White Coat Waste.

According to the same source, 44 Beagle puppies have paid the price for this experiment in a Tunisian laboratory. Some of these dogs have reportedly had their vocal cords removed, allegedly so as not to bark while scientists work, which Hechemi Louzir categorically denies.

People who have worked in government have told me that there is a 'use it or lose it' mechanism regarding annual organizational budgets. It's a seriously flawed system that leads to taxpayer money waste at best, but when it comes to painful or stressful animal research, the system as it exists today is barbaric.

"There's no reason for the disgrace that this experiment is. Unfortunately, it's just the tip of the iceberg of what's going on at NIH."

"Defending the status quo seems to be the default position of some people, unfortunately, but that's not how we progress as a society..."
