Navy Halts Dog and Cat Experiments Amid PETA Protest Over US Taxpayer-Funded Animal Tests

The US Navy has halted experiments involving dogs and cats after PETA wrote to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan, thanking the Trump administration for its ban on Navy-funded animal tests. The move comes as a result of the administration's policy change announced in 2019. As part of this policy shift, the Department of Veterans Affairs has been prohibited from funding research that involves animals, while the Army and Air Force are still allowed to conduct such experiments. However, it appears that this ban has now extended to other military branches as well.
