BETHESDA, Md. (7News) — Earlier this month, the U.S. Navy shut down all experiments on cats and dogs.
Days before the National Institute of Health (NIH) shut down its last beagle experiment.
That specific research killed five dogs. It all comes after years of public and congressional pressure to find alternatives to animal experiments.
