Under the Trump administration, the NIH, now led by Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, has ended cruel medical experimentation on beagles.
The Gateway Pundit has done extensive reporting on this issue, which you can read here.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is a largely progressive organization, but this move by the Trump administration is something that they cannot deny that they fully support.
What they can and did do, is release a statement applauding the move without once even mentioning Trump or the Trump administration.
PETA just released this statement:
PETA Applauds End to Cruel Sepsis Experiments on Beagles, Vows Continued Pressure to End All Sepsis Experiments on Animals: PETA Statement
After more than a decade of agitation, tens of thousands of emails to NIH officials from PETA supporters, and a 2021 landmark lawsuit, PETA welcomes the long-overdue news that NIH is canceling at least one of the appalling sepsis experiments that inflicted prolonged suffering on animals in federal and federally funded laboratories. Since 2013, PETA has argued for the complete termination of these cruel and scientifically worthless experiments on ALL animals—and we will continue to fight until every last one is ended. It is also critical to underscore that the beagles tormented and killed in these now-terminated painful experiments were purchased from Envigo. This notorious facility was shut down after PETA’s undercover investigation exposed the nightmarish conditions in which thousands of dogs were warehoused. PETA’s investigation led to the historic rescue of 4,000 dogs.
In this video from FOX News, Dr. Bhattacharya says that PETA sent him flowers.

PETA also posted this tweet, in which they say thank you.
Victory! @peta exposed failed sepsis experiments on animals & even sued NIH under Pres Biden to end them. Now the sepsis beagle study is ended! Thank you @NIHDirector_Jay and for shoutout at the end! https://t.co/2iVmATUBOF

While those are nice gestures, their failure to mention the Trump administration in their official statement boggles the mind. The left is simply incapable of giving Trump or his administration credit for anything, even when it’s something they agree with and is important to them.
