Yesterday, we co-hosted a Congressional briefing on Capitol Hill to publicly launch our new Spending to Death investigative report and an advocacy campaign to expose and end taxpayer-funded government experiments on dogs. A half-page feature in the Washington Post broke the news of our report and the event.
We were honored to co-host the briefing with Congresswoman Dina Titus (D-NV) and Congressman Ken Calvert (R-CA), both of whom are long-time champions on efforts to cut wasteful government spending on animal experiments.
Our inaugural event on the Hill attracted a standing-room-only audience representing dozens of Democratic and Republican members of Congress.

Rep. Titus delivered eye-opening and inspiring remarks about her successful work to expose and end wasteful taxpayer-funded experiments, and why she supports WCW. A video of her speech is below:
