Thank Rep. Nicholas A. Langworthy for working the federal funding lever.
- Thank Rep. Nicholas A. Langworthy for the April 2026 letter pressing HHS for an NIH grant moratorium on Class A dealers with active AWA citations.
- Ask them to keep using their voice — sign on to the Langworthy letter, name the labs, name the funders.
- Bring colleagues along. Class A grant moratorium needs Senate + House signatures.

💬 In their own words
“I urge you to take further action by ending any National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding streams that support research involving dogs sourced from Ridglan Farms… Immediately suspend funding for any projects that rely on Ridglan beagles.”
— Letter to HHS Sec. Kennedy & NIH Dir. Bhattacharya · April 24, 2026
🐶 What they did for the dogs
- April 2026: Wrote to HHS Sec. Kennedy and NIH Director Bhattacharya demanding immediate suspension of NIH funding for Ridglan-beagle research
- The strongest federal-level statement on dog vivisection from any member of Congress in 2026
- Next ask: Marshall BioResources, near Rochester in his own NY-23 region, breeds 10× the dogs Ridglan does. He should act on it.
