Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (09-19-2022) #797C: Justin Goodman, Director of the White Coat Waste Project (which investigates the travesty of tax-payer dollars being thrown away on often pointless experiments, and studies which require animal cruelty) talks with Tracie about how massive millions of dollars are funneled from government funding to universities for research, lining the coffers of the universities, often via pointless and cruel experimentation on animals.

Tracie and Justin suggest that alumni and students at any university question the administration whether \”indefensible science\” is being conducted that harms animals for profit.
