This very capable 1y/o “Belgian Shepherd” (Malionois) is available for adoption from NECOG in Putnam, CT. For an active household with K9 handling skills, this dog is ready for training in probably any area of interest. A very intelligent breed, this dog is a diamond in the rough. Someone will be lucky to adopt him. When you do, I would love to help you develop a plan and train him. 🐾

🚨 A new White Coat Waste Project investigation has uncovered alarming activity in several U.S. laboratories.

USDA- and DoD-funded facilities, including the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Kansas, Texas Tech University, and UC Davis, are actively importing and breeding large colonies of non-native African and Asian Hyalomma ticks.

These ticks are capable of transmitting Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), a virus with up to a 30% human fatality rate and no approved treatment in the United States.

CCHF has never appeared naturally in the continental United States.

These tick species do not belong here.

Federal agencies are nonetheless spending millions in taxpayer funds to ship live, virus-infected specimens across state lines and maintain active breeding colonies, with the stated goal of developing mRNA vaccines for livestock.

Bringing a high-consequence foreign pathogen vector into the center of American agriculture when the disease poses no current threat is indefensible.

Past laboratory escapes of ticks have already seeded Lyme disease and other illnesses across regions previously free of them.

A single containment failure with CCHF-carrying Hyalomma ticks could devastate public health and destroy the U.S. livestock industry.

Safer alternatives exist: overseas field studies, synthetic models, or research using domestic tick species.

Choosing the highest-risk option instead is unjustifiable.

These experiments must stop immediately.

Congress should suspend all funding and require a full, independent biosafety review before any further work proceeds.

American agriculture and public health deserve protection, not preventable new threats.
