Overview
White Coat Waste Project is a taxpayer watchdog group representing more than 2 million liberty-lovers and animal-lovers who all agree: taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay over $20 billion every year for wasteful and cruel experiments on dogs, cats, monkeys and other animals.
Join the fight: because taxpayers have a right to know who’s paying the bills… and who’s cashing the checks.
Our Strategy
Investigate and analyze wasteful government spending on animal experiments
Educate a new generation of taxpayers on how their money is being wasted.
Build a diverse coalition of liberty-lovers, animal-lovers, doctors, scientists and bipartisan lawmakers to stop wasteful government spending on taxpayer-funded animal experiments
