These are details about just a few experiments at overseas institutions funded by the NIH.
Year after year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has sent taxpayer dollars to laboratories around the world to confine, torment, and kill thousands of animals in experiments that do nothing to advance human health. The Cease Animal Research Grants Overseas (CARGO) Act (HR 1085/S 1802) would save millions of dollars and spare countless animals suffering and death.

Year:
In an experiment similar to those funded by NIH, a “donor” pig is cut open, and their lungs removed. Then, a “recipient” pig is cut open, his lungs removed, and the lungs from the “donor” pig are transplanted. Experiments like these are advertised as the necessary path to convert pigs into spare parts for humans. Besides their profound cruelty, these experiments have proved useless since every attempt at xenotransplantation has failed.
Three days after the transplant surgery, experimenters kept the “recipient” pig alive while they took images and samples, cut him open, and removed his bowels and stomach contents as well as tissues and organs, and finally let him bleed to death. NIH’s continued funding of experiments like this is a waste of American taxpayers’ money.Figures 1, 2, 3 | Pig lung transplant survival model. | Mariscal, A., Caldarone, L., Tikkanen, J. et al.
