Rep Nancy Mace of South Carolina and a group of lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, have signed a letter calling on Dr Anthony Fauci and his agency to answer questions on funding for experiments involving canine testing. The White Coat Waste Project, a conservative nonprofit organization, claimed that beagle puppies were used in a Tunisia, North Africa, laboratory, and some of the dogs had their vocal cords removed, allegedly so scientists could work without incessant barking. 

"Our investigators show that Fauci’s NIH (National Institutes of Health) division shipped part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sand flies so that the insects could eat them alive," White Coat Waste alleged. "They also locked beagles alone in cages in the desert overnight for nine consecutive nights to use them as bait to attract infectious sand flies."

The group’s investigations included documents obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests, as well as some publicly available reports detailing the experiments. The group also claimed that another procedure -- which the NIH allegedly funded to the tune of $1.8m -- saw 44 beagle puppies undergo a “cordectomy,” which saw their vocal cords cut to stop them barking. Reportedly, that experiment saw the dogs then pumped full of drugs, before being killed and dissected. Reportedly, this was at SRI International in Menlo Park, California.
