Washington – Please see PETA Senior Vice President Katy Guillermo’s statement regarding the National Institutes of Health’s claims that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s agency did not fund a study in which beagles were injected with a sedative and allowed to be eaten alive by flies.
The NIH’s denial that Fauci’s agency funded the hound atrocities is all too convenient. The NIH made the same argument after PETA presented an experiment in China, funded by the NIH, in which experimenters bombarded monkeys with 100 decibels for 12 hours, did not give them water or food, sprayed them with cold water, subjected them to stroboscopic lighting for 12 hours and electroshocked their legs. The published study – as well as the research on experiments with hounds – clearly states that it is sponsored by the NIH. Then, as now, the NIH called it a mistake. Is rewriting history a new defense against complicity in torture? PETA is urging the NIH to release the original unedited Hound Experiment Grant Document to back up its claim.
PETA, whose motto is in part that “animals are not ours to experiment on” – opposes arrogance, a worldview focused on human excellence. For more information on news gathering and reporting visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
