The University of Washington has confirmed that the portion of its NIH-backed muscular dystrophy experiments on dogs has officially ended, following a major investigation and public pressure campaign by the government watchdog group White Coat Waste (WCW).
The experiments intentionally caused dogs to suffer from muscular dystrophy before killing many of them.
WCW first requested documents on the UW muscular dystrophy dog lab from both the NIH and the university in July and August of last year.
The organization finally received the first tranche of records, including graphic photos and videos, from UW in early April. WCW is still waiting for additional records from the university.
Once those initial documents arrived, WCW immediately released the explosive findings.
