Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been publicly criticized for the torture funded by his agency. This is President Joe Biden’s chance to change – it has never been so clear that Fauci’s next boss should promote modern science and conduct animal testing. New reports claim that a division of the Fauci National Institutes of Health (NIH) has approved tests in which experimenters drugged beagle puppies and locked their heads in cages filled with hungry, infected mosquitoes. Drug tests appear to have been conducted, although the FDA does not require new drugs to be tested on dogs.
Fauci’s experiments on dogs are just the tip of the iceberg: in the NIH, rot goes deep and reaches the top. But PETA has a solution. It’s called the Research Modernization Deal: Developed by PETA scientists, it describes the failures of animal experiments and suggests a strategy for eliminating them.

The NIH is mired in the bad science that animal experimenters demand. The torture of these puppies is just a fraction of the NIH brutality that PETA has been exposing for years. In 2019, appearing on Tucker Carlson tonightPETA Senior Vice President Katy Guillermo shared how the NIH spends billions of tax dollars on cruel and useless animal experiments. Citing the agency’s squandering of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on painful and deadly animal experiments that do nothing to contribute to our understanding of human health, Guillermo said “this is a scam of the highest order.”
For months – well before his resignation – PETA had been calling for the firing of NIH Director Francis “Blind Eye” Collins. Now that Collins is out of the game soon, we have a rare opportunity to influence scientific research in the United States and help end decades of cruel and wasteful animal experimentation – and we must seize it. For these beagle puppies and other dogs …

The monkeys used in experiments – like this one at Washington National Primate Research Center – are often kept in small, practically sterile cages for life, unable to fulfill their natural desire to live in large family groups, and form strong bonds with each other. and play together, explore and communicate.
… For Brain Injured Monkeys Elizabeth Murray and other National Institutes of Health experimenters, horrified by fake but realistic-looking snakes and spiders, in a multi-year project that cost you and other taxpayers $ 47 million and did not lead to a single cure or even treatment …
The snakes and spiders of NIH experimenter Elizabeth Murray are artificial, but look realistic, and some can move and even jump. In response, some of her monkey victims freeze or turn away. Others panic and shake the cage. Some grimace or smack their lips. They all fall into distress.
… And countless other animals imprisoned in government laboratories, we must convince Biden not to hire another “dinosaur” director of the National Institutes of Health.
“Despite the pleas of patients, animal experts and forward-thinking scientists, past NIH executives were unwilling to change the agency’s dependence on failed animal models,” PETA neuroscientist Dr. Emily Trannell said in a statement. “PETA is calling on President Biden to appoint a new NIH director who is not only forward-thinking, but ready to make the decisions necessary to put the United States back on the forefront of biomedical innovation.”
To carry the message home, PETA supporters in giant inflatable dinosaur costumes followed the president to various events with signs that read “Biden: Don’t Assign Another NIH Dinosaur.”
Help us flood Biden’s mailbox with messages urging him to appoint a director who aims to bring the agency to 21 years of age.st centuries by investing in advanced research methods without the use of animals. As the Biden administration prepares to appoint a new NIH leadership, please take a moment to politely convince the president to make the right choice:
Tell Biden the new NIH director needs to be a supporter of modern science and animal testing
It is imperative that the president appoints a new director for the NIH who puts America’s health first and says no to all the animal experimenters who have guided agency policy over the past decade. There is a need to fund areas that can truly help people, including epidemiological research, in vitro work using human cells, integrative modeling and molecular modeling or 3D printing of human tissues, cellular analyzes and organs on a chip.
