🚨Breaking: Trump EPA will end animal testing! “We’re grateful to @epaleezeldin for committing to clean up the Biden EPA’s disastrous waste by reinstating the Trump plan to eliminate animal testing. Trump’s decision is great news for taxpayers & pet owners"- WCW VP 📰 Zeldin to pursue new ban on animal testing at EPA By Stephen Dinan @WashTimes @epaleezeldin plans to revive a ban on animal testing at the Environmental Protection Agency, The Washington Times has learned. The @EPA had pursued a phaseout of animal testing during the first Trump administration, but the Biden administration erased the deadlines, effectively neutering the policy. Now Mr. Zeldin plans to put it back in place. “Under President Trump’s first term, EPA signed a directive to prioritize efforts to reduce animal testing and committed to reducing testing on mammals by 30 percent by 2025 and to eliminate it completely by 2035. The Biden Administration halted progress on these efforts by delaying compliance deadlines. Administrator Zeldin is wholly committed to getting the agency back on track to eliminating animal testing,” Molly Vaseliou, an agency spokesperson, told The Times. EPA uses animal testing to help determine toxicity levels of exposure to pesticides and chemicals, using tens of thousands of vertebrate animals a year. The goal is to determine the chemicals’ likely effects on humans. The agency does some of the testing at its own lab in North Carolina. @AndrewRWheeler, the agency’s head at the end of the first Trump term, had called for a 30% reduction in mammal testing by 2025 and a complete end by 2035. He also ordered retirement plans to be put in place for some of the test animals, such as rabbits. The Biden administration scrapped the goals, saying they had become a needless point of contention. They also ditched retirement plans for rabbits kept at the North Carolina lab. The Times, using data from the White Coat Waste Project, reported in 2023 that scientists euthanized a rabbit rather than give him a retirement, saying it was too much of a burden to give him the socialization a bunny would need to be healthy. The EPA did not say what its new plans are for retiring the animals. But the @kindnessranch, an animal sanctuary, said it’s ready to take animals if the EPA will turn them over. “As we’ve previously offered to the EPA and other federal agencies, the nonprofit Kindness Ranch animal sanctuary is ready, willing, and able to take in, rehabilitate and re-home rabbits and other animals at no expense to taxpayers, as we’ve successfully done for thousands of dogs, cats, and other former lab animals,” said John Ramer, the ranch’s executive director. “Just say when and we’ll be there.” Alternatives to animal testing, generally groups under the moniker New Approach Methods, have been growing and even under President Biden, the EPA expanded their use. Some scientists argue that NAMs are too far from being a credible reality to pursue a phaseout of actual animal testing. Other scientists say having a deadline is the only way to prod the kind of developments that will result in an animal testing-free situation. The White Coat Waste Project, which pushes to end taxpayer funding of animal testing, said Mr. Zeldin’s revival of the Trump ban is the right call. “We’re grateful to Administrator Zeldin for committing to clean up the Biden EPA’s disastrous waste by reinstating the Trump plan to eliminate animal testing,” said @JustinRGoodman, senior vice president at White Coat. “Trump’s decision is great news for taxpayers and pet owners as it sends a message to big spending animal abusers across the federal government: Stop the money. Stop the madness!” he said. He said EPA’s chemical safety experiments include forcing animals to inhale wildfire smoke and emissions from firearms and compelling companies “to poison puppies with pesticides

No football team should play in the 2030 World Cup if this dog genocide takes place

@politiwars @DVATW I can neither confirm nor deny 👀

@DVATW If people in Britain say they like him do they get thrown in prison?

@Keir_Starmer Why are you blaming the Tories? You aren’t in opposition anymore - you’re responsible for the failures of the CURRENT Labour government. #rapegangs

It's important to me that this Labour goverment improves your life and your community in ways you actually notice. Al has enormous potential to do that. While the Tories stifled growth and innovation, my government will use Al to turbocharge our Plan for Change.

@domdyer70 @AllisonPearson When will men stop telling women to shut up/ pipe down. You’re basically calling her a difficult woman. Whether it’s for animal rights or justice for children that were gang raped - I will never pipe down.

Pipe down you spend all your time trying to fan the flames 🔥 of hatred & division in this country. Are you saying grooming gangs scandal is worse than slavery, Irish potato famine, the insane butchery of the First World War, Appeasement of Hitler & Munich to mention just few monumental scandals in British History that led to millions of lives being lost

Keir Starmer has no idea how much trouble he’s in. How much trouble the deluded progressive leftist project is in. The Pakistani child rape gangs with their thousands of victims is the biggest scandal in British history. Some say in the entire history of the West.

@AllisonPearson Heaven firvid youre awxually assaulted or suffer from DV. I'm in disbelief that this is happening in the UK.

I have had texts and emails from Essex residents who say they had cars stolen and the police declined to come out. Gave a crime number down the phone. Maybe if they posted an irate tweet the police would show up?

@ColchMum @Stevemannix @mercurytheatre @Essexpolice This is so upsetting. Frightening and arresting a woman in her home for tweeting? The police force are now thought police 😱

This is the moment @SteveMannix, CEO of registered charity @MercuryTheatre and Chair of child transitioning charity Outhouse had me arrested by @EssexPolice for posting on X, sending emails and "criminal damage".

@JakeWSimons My faith in the average Joe is constantly restored. I'm so pleased Israel received so many points with the public vote alongside Ukraine ❤️ The silent majority continues to fight back 💪🏼

This is what racism looks like in 2024. And to think people worry about “microaggressions”, what a joke

@ognittis37 @BBCWorld There is a group. It's called ‘slags and hags’ and they ‘name and shame’ women they’ve banged and how good/ attractive they were. The womens groups exist throughout the UK.

@BBCWorld Imagine if this was a group naming women, there would be all hell on

😞 Should read: Concern over women’s safety in NI. NI has appaulingly high femicide rates and the male equivalent page in NI is called ‘slags and hags.’ Where are the interviews from survivors of DV or @WomensAidNI? @BBCNewsNI @BBCWorld @JournoClaire #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

@BBCWorld @JournoClaire Yet no mention of the male equivalent page in NI called ‘slags and hags’ or the appallingly high rates of femicide in NI. Why no interviews with @WomensAidNI or survivors of DV? Do better @BBCNewsNI @BBCWorld @JournoClaire #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

@libsoftiktok Leave these people doing their job alone

Forcing people to use your pronouns and honorifics or else they will be shamed, is narcissistic behavior stemming from an attention seeking power trip.
