I guess I’ve been living under a rock because I’ve never heard this story. So, as a curious person, I would have expected someone writing an article about the story would at least take a few sentences to explain WTF beaglegate is about.
I searched on my own and found the story to be mixed truth.
It is a fact that, in two different NIAID congressionally funded studies, beagle puppies were tested on and euthanized.
It’s not clear if Fauci specifically knew of or approved of these studies while he was head of the NIAID. Though all tests were done according to existing procedures and regulations. There’s a lot of misrepresentation of what the tests were or how the dogs were treated for political theater.

So what I’m hearing is: Fauci DIDN’T shoot a puppy in a gravel pit for essentially getting too excited…
what a monster /s
See, killing puppies is only okay if you’re a republican like Kristi Noem.
