A new investigation by White Coat Waste (WCW) reveals that American tax dollars are fueling cruel and unnecessary animal experiments in Canada. The findings show that several National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants have committed more than $27 million to dog, cat, and rabbit experiments conducted at Canadian universities and for-hire animal testing labs, including nearly $3.9 million in 2025 funding alone, and with more than $316,000 already allocated this year.

“Most Canadians have no idea that dogs and cats are being tested on in Canada and that in many cases taxpayer dollars are being spent on it along with private funding. People in Canada and the U.S. would also be troubled to learn that the U.S. government funds animal testing facilities in Canada – many of which need not report to any regulatory body. The Beagle Alliance stands ready to assist with finding homes for animals released from testing facilities as well as aid in their rehabilitation,”
