Nancy Mace, R-S.C., last month titled “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.” During her opening remarks, Mace referred to a report last year from the White Coat Waste Project, a watchdog organization that aims to stop government spending on animal testing, that found more than $10 million in taxpayer funds had been “wasted to create transgender mice, rats, and monkeys in university labs.”
