Four years ago, we pointed out that not only had Anthony Fauci funded, with American taxpayer dollars, the creation of the Wuhan Bioweapon, he was also carrying out cruel experiments on a favorite breed of dog: Beagles (see, e.g., Charles Schulz and “Snoopy.”)
But today, that has been tossed into the dustbin of history. The beagles are free!
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Jay Bhattacharya announced that the agency has shuttered its last in-house beagle labs. During an interview this past weekend, Bhattacharya said, “It’s very easy, for instance, to cure Alzheimer’s in mice. But those things don’t translate to humans. So we put forward a policy to replace animals in research with technological advances, AI and other tools, that actually translate better to human health.”
“We got rid of all of the beagle experiments on NIH campus,” he declared. Bhattacharya further stated that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent him flowers to honor the lab’s closure. “Normally, I think NIH directors tend to get physical threats, but they sent me flowers,” he said.
Government watchdog group White Coat Waste Project (WCW) celebrated the lab closure, with the organization’s President and Founder Anthony Bellotti saying, “As the watchdog that first uncovered and battled Dr. Fauci’s beagle tests (the biggest animal testing scandal in history), we’re proud that White Coat Waste has closed the NIH’s last in-house beagle laboratory—and the US government’s biggest dog lab. . . . Taxpayers and pet owners shouldn’t be forced to pay for the NIH’s beagle abuse, and now . . . they won’t have to,” Bellotti added.
As we noted four years ago, dogs are sensitive and affectionate to their human masters, as well as remarkably intelligent:
"The intelligence displayed by many dumb animals approaches so closely to human intelligence that it is a mystery. The animals see and hear and love and fear and suffer. They use their organs far more faithfully than many human beings use theirs. They manifest sympathy and tenderness toward their companions in suffering. Many animals show an affection for those who have charge of them, far superior to the affection shown by some of the human race. They form attachments for man which are not broken without great suffering to them." Ellen G. White, The Ministry of Healing, pp. 315, 316.
Those who mistreat animals will face judgment:
“He who will abuse animals because he has them in his power is both a coward and a tyrant. A disposition to cause pain, whether to our fellow men or to the brute creation, is satanic. Many do not realize that their cruelty will ever be known, because the poor dumb animals cannot reveal it. But could the eyes of these men be opened, as were those of Balaam, they would see an angel of God standing as a witness, to testify against them in the courts above. A record goes up to heaven, and a day is coming when judgment will be pronounced against those who abuse God's creatures." White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 443.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well. Cecil F. Alexander
