NIH shutters notorious dog lab accused of slaughtering beagles for four decades
[NYP] A government research lab that had been used to conduct "cruel" and deadly drug experiments on beagles for at least four decades has been shut down, National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya revealed.

The NIH’s controversial in-house Clinical Center on its Bethesda, Md., campus had been accused of pushing pneumonia-causing bacteria into 2,000 beagles’ lungs, among other brutal experiments.

The closure of the notorious facility dovetails with a broader push by the Trump administration to phase out animal testing.

"We put forward a policy to replace animals and research with other technological advancements, AI and other tools that actually translate better to human health," Bhattacharya told "Fox & Friends Weekend" Saturday.
