A bipartisan group of 10 U.S. lawmakers are demanding answers from White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci about taxpayer-backed dog testing conducted under the Biden administration.

“Americans across the political spectrum have been horrified to learn their tax dollars are being wasted to subsidize NIH’s [National Institutes of Health] barbaric experiments on beagle puppies,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who led the group of Republicans and Democrats, told the Washington Examiner. She called the experiments on dogs “outdated, unnecessary, and cruel.”
