Taxpayer, you may not know my name.  

But you’re probably familiar with my work. My team uncovered this: 

In 2021, WCW exposed how Dr. Fauci paid a lab in Tunisia to lock beagles in cages filled with hundreds of biting sand flies.

And this:

In 2020, WCW exposed how the Department of Veterans Affairs crippled and killed thousands of kittens like Copper (Govt ID #17LQ01)

You also heard about this one from my crew: 

In 2020, WCW uncovered Fauci’s lab leak money. Our investigation is how the world learned that U.S. taxpayers funded the Wuhan lab.

We got this one from the feds, too: 

In 2019, WCW sued the NIH to release these videos of primate fear experiments.

My name is Kailey Mauro. I’m an investigator at White Coat Waste — the nation’s most effective group at getting animals out of labs. 

Taxpayer, none of these breakthroughs would have happened without you. Every investigation I conduct is powered entirely by donors like you.

I use the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to make government bureaucrats hand over receipts they never wanted you to see.  

I get their receipts, veterinary records, documents, photos, and videos from the deepest corners of the United States federal government.  

And because you and I pay $20 billion in taxes each year for these experiments, we have every right to expose them.

WCW then takes my investigative research to the Trump Administration and Capitol Hill. It’s how Republican and Democratic lawmakers — and even the White House — learn about every major animal testing scandal.

“We have no intention of just phasing out animal studies overnight… animal studies are still very important and often scientifically justified.”

You may not know my name, but you probably know hers: Nicole Kleinstreuer. These are her own words.

Kleinstreuer is NIH’s new “Animal Testing Czar”. 

You’d think big animal rights groups would be the first to oppose her. Well, you’d be wrong. 

Legacy groups clap for Kleinstreuer — like trained seals — even while animals suffer under her watch. WCW exposes what they refuse to confront.

Powerful forces in the federal government have united with legacy groups in the animal rights establishment to destroy everything we work for.

They’ve lined up to protect Kleinstreuer — applauding her while NIH pours millions into new animal experiments.

On Giving Tuesday, I’m reaching out because we’re under attack.  

And I’m afraid we might lose this time, Taxpayer. 

PROBLEM #1: WE STIRRED UP THE HORNET’S NEST.

I’m the investigator who discovered that, under Kleinstreuer’s direction, NIH leadership (including Director Jay Bhattacharya) has quietly accelerated taxpayer-funded animal testing. 

You see, despite promises to end animal experiments… despite all the media hype… Kleinstreuer and Bhattacharya doubled down on abusing cats and dogs in labs.

I exposed how they just gave big pharmaceutical companies $24 million for BRAND NEW experiments on beagles.

I also uncovered how the Bhattacharya-Kleinstreuer NIH extended a $4.1 million payout for lethal heart failure experiments on 25 kittens.

Hearts cut out… while they’re still alive.

And they did it within days of Kleinstreuer claiming that NIH was “working tirelessly” to phase out testing on cats. 

Taxpayer, I refused to be an innocent bystander. So I blew the whistle on NIH. 

Then the heavy hand of government slammed down on us. 

One of Kleinstreuer’s top NIH allies, Warren Casey, came after us next. He tried to intimidate WCW’s board and silence our investigations — all to protect their power. 

When I blew the whistle, I expected pushback — but I didn’t expect the government to target us.  

But that’s exactly what happened. Casey even pushed an anonymous smear site calling us a ‘hate group.’

This is an actual screenshot of the website your government was pushing to intimidate us.

Kleinstreuer’s NIH has sent a chilling message to investigators. 

This is the culture of corruption inside NIH — retaliation, secrecy, and a blank check for new animal experiments. It’s a machine built to punish whistleblowers and protect abusers. 

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time we’ve dealt with retaliation from the government.

When we exposed Dr. Fauci’s beagle tests, this guy was the head of the NIH...

and an influential official inside the White House!

And this woman here is a major pro-animal testing lobbyist: 

“This type of propaganda should be criminalized.” 
- Director, Americans for Medical Progress 

Taxpayer, I won’t lie: the threat of criminalization is downright frightening.

Some are even lobbying to throw the investigators in jail!

Bottom line: I can’t shut down any more labs if I lose my freedom — and I’m relying on you today.

You might be wondering... WHY are the feds going all in against us? 

Because they know if I get NIH’s receipts, White Coat Waste is going to win.

Case in point. My team filed 15 FOIA requests and three lawsuits to expose NIH’s last in-house lab — the federal government’s largest dog lab. 

Last Giving Tuesday, I specifically asked for your help to shut it down: 

This is the actual email fundraiser we sent you on December 3, 2024 — last year’s Giving Tuesday appeal.

You donated to our fundraising email, Taxpayer.  

Then, in May 2025, this happened: 

2,133 beagles died in NIH’s septic shock lab. They were stuffed inside a refrigerator. Until WCW ended it.

But we can’t close any more labs if we don’t have enough money to sustain my work. 

PROBLEM #2: BIG DONORS ARE DE-FUNDING US.

Taxpayer, the enemy is also turning wealthy donors against us.  

After I exposed Bhattacharya and Kleinstreuer, major funders in the animal rights establishment rallied to support NIH. 

Taxpayer, I couldn’t believe it myself.  

They sided with the world’s top animal testing agency — just because we dared to expose what Kleinstreuer was really doing behind closed doors.

Big donors are protecting the NIH machine. 

This is an actual post from the head of the Greenbaum Foundation — formerly WCW’s biggest donor. Greenbaum attacked us because we exposed NIH and Kleinstreuer.

Let’s be clear about something: we didn’t betray animals. Our government did! 

Big donors can’t silence us… but they can defund us.

And we can’t defund any more labs if we can’t pay for our campaigns.

PROBLEM #3: FUNDRAISING IS DOWN 47%

Taxpayer, retaliation has taken a severe toll.  

Our revenue is down… over 47%. 

In fact, it’s our WORST fundraising in over four years.

That’s why Giving Tuesday is now the single most important day of the year for WCW.

Every dollar we’re short means one less dollar for investigations, advertisements, lawsuits, lobbying, and more. It’s a severe threat to our work.    

And I can only launch as many investigations as we can afford.  

So we’re depending on a big Giving Tuesday.  

You are the reason WCW wins, Taxpayer — and today, I need you more than ever. 

Taxpayer, will you stand with me today so we don’t lose the investigations that save animals’ lives?

I’d do it all again — even knowing the retaliation that followed.

Because every investigation saves lives — and I can only keep fighting if you stand with me.

Please send help, 

Kailey Mauro Investigator White Coat Waste

P.S. Giving Tuesday Exclusive: Grassroots donors have always been WCW’s strength, Taxpayer — and right now, you’re the only reason my investigations can continue.

I’ve stirred up the hornet’s nest. But your much-needed donation will be matched at midnight to ensure my work goes on despite these vicious government attacks. Please help! — Kailey
