House Appropriations Comm Passes Amendment to Defund All NIH-Funded Transgender Animal Experiments in FY26 Spending Bill

GP:
In a significant victory for fiscal conservatives and animal welfare advocates, the House Appropriations Committee has unanimously passed an amendment to the FY26 NIH spending bill that would prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars for bizarre and controversial “transgender” experiments on animals.

The amendment, which was added to the spending bill, states explicitly:

“Sec. ___. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used for research on vertebrate animals for the purpose of studying the effects of drugs, surgery, or other interventions to alter the human body (including by disrupting the body’s development, inhibiting its natural functions, or modifying its appearance) to no longer correspond to its biological sex.”

The amendment was first proposed by Rep. Paul Gosar in May, who was working with White Coat Waste Project, a watchdog group focused on ending wasteful taxpayer-funded animal experimentation. more

  1. If they want to continue experimenting on woke Hollywood blowhards, poly sci college professors, European intellectuals, or anybody at all who wears a keffiyeh, that would be OK by me. Just don’t release any of these lab animals back into the wild when you’re done with them.
