In one ghoulish experiment, 18 healthy cats were 'decerebrated,' then forced to walk on a treadmill. Decebration is a procedure in which experimenters cut off a cat\u2019s brain function while they are still alive.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n

MARYANN HUSSEY:<\/strong> The U.S. has been sending money to Russia’s state-run labs for monstrous experiments on kittens… The experiments, recently unearthed by WCW researchers, are some of the worst we\u2019ve ever seen \u2014 and that\u2019s saying something… Cat experimenters at Russia\u2019s Pavlov Institute of Physiology in St. Petersburg, Russia, received nearly $550,000 from the N.I.H. in 2021 alone…<\/em><\/p>\n

In one ghoulish experiment, 18 healthy cats were \u201cdecerebrated,\u201d then forced to walk on a treadmill. \u201cDecebration\u201d is a procedure in which experimenters cut off a cat\u2019s brain function while they are still alive. The cats are knocked out and their brain stems are severed, and sometimes, pieces of their brain are even removed. The \u201czombie\u201d cats then have electrodes implanted into their spines and are forced to walk on treadmills…<\/em><\/p>\n

If that sounds vaguely familiar, it\u2019s because these same experiments are done on kittens here at home, too. Having to pay for these experiments in America is bad enough. So why does Uncle Sam want us to pay for these experiments in Russia, too? We\u2019ve uncovered that you\u2019ve been paying this Russian lab to torture cats in experiments like this one since 2018 (see\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>). Here\u2019s a diagram<\/a> from the experimenters…<\/em><\/p>\n

Electrocuting zombie cats to make them move. Utterly horrifying. The fact that we\u2019re paying for this? \u201cDisgusting\u201d doesn\u2019t even begin to cover it… WCW researchers also found experiments at the same Russian government lab \u2014 which, thankfully, American tax dollars did not fund \u2014 involving injecting chemicals into dogs\u2019 brains, implanting electrodes in monkeys\u2019 brains, and removing the brains from kittens as young as 4 days old…<\/em><\/p>\n

The NIH spent around $140 million on animal experiments in foreign countries in 2020. A total of 353 labs in 57 countries worldwide are authorized to receive U.S. taxpayer funds \u2014 including countries like China and Russia, which the U.S. government has called \u201cforeign adversaries”… The White Coat Waste Project-backed AFAR Act, from Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) legislation would prohibit tax dollars from funding animal experiments in countries that have been deemed foreign adversaries by the U.S. government.
