A part of the &#8220;Making America Greater for Animals&#8221; movement, Trump&#8217;s decisions include discontinuing controversial projects at Harvard university, where experiments involved testing on infant monkeys. Advocacy groups, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the White Coat Waste Project, have praised these actions, calling them a victory against unethical animal testing.Additionally, the Navy has ended its testing programs on cats in response to public pressure.The article highlights calls from PETA for Harvard to create sanctuaries for the animals previously involved in these studies to ensure their welfare following the cessation of funding.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump cheered as the best friend of animals after research grants nixed<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2132835\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>They&rsquo;re calling it the &ldquo;Making America Greater for Animals&rdquo; movement.<\/p>\n<p>In a continuation of his first term, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> has bolstered his reputation as the best friend of animals by canceling grants for experiments on monkeys, dogs, and cats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3423671\/pbs-prefers-democrats-anti-trump-republicans-media-bias\/\">PBS prefers Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans, 4-to-1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3423581\/trump-campaign-team-recognized-as-master-class\/\">Trump campaign team recognized as &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-campaign-team-recognized-as-master-class\/\" title=\"Trump campaign team recognized as \u2018master class\u2019\">master class&#038;rsquo<\/a>;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3422780\/liberal-media-scream-msnbc-dean-obeidallah-calls-trump-dictator-to-bow-before\/\">Liberal Media Scream: MSNBC calls Trump &lsquo;dictator&rsquo; to bow before<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>With several moves, including his targeting of Harvard University research grants, Trump has recently ended several &ldquo;cruel&rdquo; research projects long opposed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the White Coat Waste Project.<\/p>\n<p>At Harvard, Trump ended funding for grants supporting testing on baby monkeys taken from their mothers.
