Fauci provided funding for a laboratory experiment where beagle puppies were drugged, their heads locked in mesh cages filled with sand flies, and the insects ate them alive. ''The Hill'' reported that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by Fauci, gave part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in [[Tunisia]] “to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sand flies so that the insects could eat them alive.”

A nonprofit organization called White Coat Waste Project claimed that the NIAID is “infecting dozens of beagles with disease-causing parasites to test an experimental drug on them.” The organization also claimed that some of the 44 beagle puppies used in the lab experiment had their vocal cords cut out, allegedly so that “scientists could work without incessant barking.”
