The U.S. Navy has announced the termination of all testing on cats and dogs, marking an end to inhumane studies, as stated by Navy Secretary John C. Phelan. This decision follows advocacy from the White Coat Waste Project and bipartisan lawmakers seeking to halt taxpayer-funded animal testing.
National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya confirmed that the agency has closed its last beagle labs and acknowledged that animal testing often does not translate to human health.
These actions are part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to end unethical research practices involving animals, as emphasized by various officials and organizations.
