Watchdog claims victory over Pentagon animal testing as lawmakers demand accounting of taxpayer funds
Fox News
Twenty-five lawmakers wrote a letter demanding specifics about past animal testing at the Pentagon, while a watchdog also highlighted a recent VA controversy
At the same time, a spokesperson for the White Coat Waste Project (WCW), an organization dedicated to ending the taxpayer-funded experimentation on animals, said he hopes the new attention, as well as a rider in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), will make the Pentagon the second known federal agency to halt painful testing on animals.

Justin Goodman, WCW’s vice president, said in addition to the experimentation highlighted in June, Pentagon-sanctioned testing has also reportedly been "electroshocking" cats to study erectile dysfunction. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
