Six-month-old Beagle puppies are put in jackets that inject them with cocaine and meth, causing them to vomit and foam at the mouth, as part of a drug testing study by the National Institutes of Health that has been under congressional scrutiny for years.
Former President Joe Biden’s administration extended funding for the study, which has received $5.3 million, until March 31, according to documents that White Coat Waste shared with the Washington Examiner. Trials for the study of an unnamed drug meant to treat cocaine addiction began in September 2020 and were scheduled to end in March 2022, costing taxpayers an initial estimated $2.3 million. White Coat Waste discovered that upon the end of trials, these beagle puppies were either euthanized or kept at Charles River Laboratories for further testing trials.
