They call this protecting the environment?
Last month, the White Coat Waste Project (WCW), an organization working to stop useless tests on animals funded by taxpayer dollars, revealed just how “protective” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is. Their report documented how the EPA takes the lives of over 20,000 animals in cruel experiments each year.
The rabbits, mice, fish, and other animals that die at the hands of the government agency are exposed to experiments we already know are harmful. According to WCW, researchers make the animals breathe diesel exhaust, air pollution or ozone, force them to ingest lard and oils, and even administer electric shocks to baby animals.
This outrageous treatment and spending led WCW to start the EPA Sucks campaign to stop this needless suffering. They posted a billboard near the EPA’s testing center in North Carolina to get the message out.
“Americans don’t like, want or need these outdated, misleading and deadly EPA animal tests that are siphoning millions of dollars off of important programs that can actually protect animals, taxpayers and the environment,” WCW Vice President of Advocacy and Public Policy Justin Goodman told LFT.
We are spending $5 million dollars on a study to force feed rats, lard and coconut oil until they are morbidly obese…We’re borrowing money from the next generation so we can fat-shame dead rats that we ourselves have poisoned in the government. pic.twitter.com/ir91SMVxqA

Add your voice to help stop the cruelty and waste. Click here to send a message to your congress members and EPA administrator Scott Pruitt urging them to stop the tests on animals.
What’s New…
Stop causing unnecessary suffering. No living being was put on this earth for this.
I kindly ask you to stop the tests on animals. They feel pain and sorrow just lik you and me. So please have mercy, and love the animals – don’t exploit them. I please beg you to set all animals free, so they can be free to live their life in harmony and joy. Thank you!
STOP testing on animals, terrible!
No tenemos derecho a abusar de los animales bajo ningún concepto; tampoco con la excusa de las experimentaciones, algunas absolutamente inútiles. Verdaderas torturas sádicas…nada más.
🙁
Damn E P A that thinks it’s sooooooo great. What it is , is a lying , back stabbing government. Why am I not surprised that they KILLED 20,000 animals for their experiments ? We have plenty pf LIFE PRISONERS, let the EPA to experiments on them.
~ This is brilliant advertising ~ Yes the EPA lies and they suck ~ We will end this ~ mgf
We know better than to use animals for experiments ! ….STOP IMMEDIATELY !!!! ……SHAME,SHAME,SHAME on us …stop NOW !!!
This practice is not acceptable.
EPA-ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY……….a government agency run and paid for with OUR tax dollars! Are rabbits, mice, fish, and other animals that die at the hands of the government agency not part of OUR environment?? Innocent, helpless animals made/forced to breathe diesel exhaust, air pollution or ozone, force them to ingest lard and oils, and even administer electric shocks to baby animals. These are CRIMES AGAINST NATURE! None of this has ever helped a damned thing and it never will! It’s a huge waste of our tax dollars and pure, simple, hateful, careless animal cruelty and abuse! They can’t scream “NO”, they can’t run and hide, they can’t fight back! My God, our world’s animals suffer so very, very much. Such horrible crimes against poor innocent animals……it burns me up that the EPA would use our tax dollars and waste so much government money to torment and torture all of the animals and fish! Fire the EPA to start with and stop wasting the government money this way and the USA deficit…..wouldn’t be a deficit much longer! Instead of useless, careless, “don’t give a damn politicians”
get REAL people in there, people who care and will make responsible decisions! Do this and see….watch things turn around, fast!
This is happening on a daily basis all over Americas so called LABS. In universities and government agencies and been going on for hundreds of years! WHEN DOES IT ENDS!!!!!
Arrête les testé de pollution cruels sur les animaux
Where is it all going to end?! How long before these so-called scientists realised that (a) rabbits are not humans and are bound to react to certain force-fed drugs or food substances differently from humans and (b) we already know that in humans, the consumption of too much calorie-laden food makes us fat. Just look around you. You don’t need to spend tons of money on that one to know the answer! Of course, putting concentrated shampoo in rabbits eyes makes them sore, just the same as making beagles inhale cigarettes smoke will eventually make them ill. Spare the dogs – just go and look in any medical ward in a hospital – that’s where the irrefutable evidence lies (literally). Animals are NOT here for us to use as lab experiments. It has to stop!!
Please put an end to these inhumane and unnecessary tests and publish all the people that are responsible for this and keep them out in the open so they can’t hide and continue their cruel activities without people knowing exactly what they’re doing.
No no no no no never this is bull
I’m a proud supporter of the WCW project. If you care about animals, you should be too!
Why do they experiment on animals anyway? Animals are defenseless creatures who are not allowed to defend themselves against humans without being labeled killers and if they try to defend themselves, they are then put to death. They just can’t win and because of human stupidity and cruelty, they have to endure horrible experiments in the name of research that don’t prove anything. These monsters have put animals through this torture for decades. Those poor babies have no say. I wish I could kick the asses of each and every moron who feel its ok to experiment on any animal. Go round up all the hardened criminals in prison and make them go through that torture and leave the innocent animals alone. God! people make me sick. We live in a stupid, heartless, cruel, world and its not getting any better and the EPA is about as dumb and pathetic as it gets.
Stop using rabbits and animals for experiments ! Shame. Find loving homes for them all. Animals need love and care like we do !
How stupidly ridiculous! EVERYBODY knows breathing pollution is bad for us. How stupid does the government think we are?
Stop the craziness and wasting our money. Stop harming innocent animals.
The USA is unbelievable.
Get these “researchers” slash death camp workers and execute all of them!
Its all for money they couldn’t care less about the poor animals those bastards
They need to stop the “pretend” research. They answer is already here for most things like cancer/MS/arthritis etc and we know anything that is not natural is not healthy. They just want the money and easy life pretending to so research. When someone dies they may also donate money to cancer etc society not realizing the answer to cancer is already here etc. Government needs to stop the greed/waste/corruption and use the money for only good reasons. Stop animal experiments they are not helping and abuse animals.
Can’t believe this. Are we in the dark ages?
Please stop this horrible practice- there are better ways
Animal Cruelty Or Torture In Anyway, Shape Or Form Is WRONG!
The EPA is supposed to protect planet Earth and ALL her inhabitants including her land….Wake up
Stop this sickening animal testing NOW!
Stop animal testing!
SHAMEFUL. THIS STUDY SERVES NO PURPOSE. IT’S TIME TO CALL THOSE RUNNING THESE BARBARIC STUDIES WHAT THEY ARE- ANIMAL ABUSERS!
STOP THESE FUNDING OF SUCH RIDICULOUS RESEARCH ANDROID PROSECUTE ALL THOSE TORTURING ANIMALS
Stop this barbaric act NOW! NO EXCUSES
Stop using animals as test subjects. Stop wasting tax payer money. ??????
We have known the outcome for donkeys years. Someone is making a fortune out of this.
surely we already know this stuff? I hate inhaling fumes. I would never deliberately do it. no one would. isn’t that enough to know?
Please cease and desist this craziness PLEASE!!!!
This is sick! Stupid folks involved! Let’s get on it!
Get on it Folks!
Why do we have to do experiments on live animals? With all the technology we have can’t we find a better solution??
Just stop these disgusting experiments on helpless animals,cruel and as usual a waste of tax paper money.
This is nonsense. Just stop it
