Cosign bipartisan letter to end painful dog testing at the VA!

Please join us sending a letter to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies to call for an end to the use of taxpayer dollars to fund painful and distressing dog experiments at the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA, under the Veterans Health Administration, spends $779 million annually on in-house medical research on service-related conditions as well as those that do not have a direct connection to military service. The VA uses approximately
100 dogs a year in painful testing, primarily dogs under a year old. These experiments have been criticized by Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) and scientists as wasteful and unproductive. After pressure from Members of Congress, VSOs and other advocates,
multiple media exposés, and targeted legislation, painful dog testing has been reduced or discontinued at several VA facilities, including at the Los Angeles VA and Milwaukee VA. However, more remains to be done. We invite you to join us in ensuring that the
VA focuses its limited funds on providing quality care to veterans instead of wasting taxpayer money on cruel dog experimentation.
