Taxpayer, this headline says it all:

And it wasn’t just World Animal News.

Fox News credited the real leader:

Let’s be clear:

• Legacy groups didn’t lead this.
• They showed up after the fight was won.
• They issued a press release two days after the Navy made it official.

They chased the headline.
White Coat Waste created it:

This is what ending the culture of losing looks like:

In a landmark win for animals and taxpayers alike, the U.S. Navy has officially announced a ban on all experiments involving dogs and cats, marking the end of a long, painful chapter of government-funded animal abuse.

This historic policy change comes just 10 days after White Coat Waste Project (WCW) successfully shut down a $10 million Navy-funded laboratory where crippled cats were subjected to cruel electroshock experiments, including tests related to constipation and erectile dysfunction. Thanks to WCW’s relentless investigation and public campaign, this lab, and all future Navy tests on dogs and cats, are now a thing of the past.

White Coat Waste investigators first uncovered these barbaric practices, exposing them to the public through international media outlets. The shocking revelations mobilized a massive grassroots response made up of concerned taxpayers, animal lovers, and pet owners across the country.

“White Coat Waste didn’t just shut down this one cat crippling lab—we ended all future dog and cat testing by the Navy, for good. As someone who’s proudly adopted several cat survivors who were rescued after White Coat Waste shut down their labs, this victory is deeply personal. Knowing that no more puppies or kittens will suffer behind Navy lab doors makes this a defining moment in the movement to end animal testing,” Anthony Bellotti, President and Founder of White Coat Waste, told WAN.

“We’re grateful to Secretary John Phelan, Pete Hegseth, and the Trump Administration for this policy. Pets are family. For too long, beloved dogs and cats were abused in secretive government labs. That era is ending—because White Coat Waste is ending it. The solution is simple: Stop the Money. Stop the Madness,” continued Bellotti.

Together, this growing movement united a powerful bipartisan coalition, alongside the White House, to demand accountability and defund the abuse. This victory is not just about shutting down one cruel lab; it’s about rewriting policy to ensure no more dogs or cats are ever harmed in Navy experiments again.

For many, including WCW team members who have adopted survivors rescued from shuttered government labs, this fight is personal. Knowing that no more puppies or kittens will suffer behind Navy doors is a deeply meaningful milestone.

With this monumental victory, we must continue to push to end animal testing across the nation for good! Help White Coat Waste Project continue their incredible work by supporting their mission to expose and eliminate wasteful and inhumane government-funded animal experiments. Together, we can ensure that taxpayer dollars are no longer used for cruel and unnecessary testing.
