The Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has pledged to eliminate animal testing, reinstating a plan originally introduced during President Donald Trump’s first term.
This decision comes after taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste Project (WCW) exposed the Biden administration’s cancellation of the earlier initiative, which aimed to phase out testing on mammals by 2035.
The original 2019 plan, under then-EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, intended to implement a 30% reduction in mammal testing by 2025 and a complete elimination by 2035.
This plan was hailed as the most comprehensive effort in U.S. government history to end taxpayer-funded animal experiments, which is supported by millions of Americans across the political spectrum. Unfortunately, a WCW investigation in 2023 revealed that the Biden EPA had quietly canceled the plan and resumed tests on animals.
White Coat Waste uncovered how the Biden EPA was doing animal experiments for “environmental justice,” forcing animals to inhale simulated wildfire smoke and emissions from rifles and handguns.
“Luscious” Lee Zeldin (EPA) was on Gutfeld! last night. Dude was funny! What a breath of fresh air!!! 🙂
“… forcing animals to inhale simulated wildfire smoke and emissions from rifles and handguns.”
That’s why we have fire cadets and Army E-1s.
fire cadets and Army E-1s are volunteers 3:03, animals are not.
You are obviously unfamiliar with the Army.
