Wasteful. Cruel. Unnecessary. Hidden from public view. In the case of the St. Louis Dept. Of Veterans Affairs (VA), one of only two VA facilities still experimenting on dogs, their experiments can be categorized as “all of the above.” But thanks to White Coat Waste Project’s (WCW) campaign — which generated widespread public opposition to […]
