NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya Says They Have Closed The Last Beagle Lab

  • NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya revealed on Sunday that the agency has shut down its final in-house beagle research facility at the NIH Clinical Center, ending experiments that caused significant pain and distress to the dogs.
  • The closure followed a years-long investigation by White Coat Waste Project revealing over 2,100 beagles killed in USDA pain categories D and E septic shock experiments since 1986.
  • The NIH also launched an April 29 initiative to reduce animal testing by promoting methods like organoids, computer modeling, and real-world data.
  • In June 2024, Envigo pleaded guilty to Animal Welfare Act violations, paying $11 million within a $35.5 million settlement, the largest ever in such a case.
  • The lab closure and settlement signal NIH’s shift toward less cruel, human-centered research while advocacy groups vow to continue opposing dog laboratories.
