A “homage” mosaic picture of Dr. Anthony Fauci, consisting of numerous images of monkeys and beagles he and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) are accused of being accountable for having “tormented and eliminated in cruel experiments,” was revealed by animal rights group PETA after a recent look into the top infectious illness specialist’s office exposed big pictures and other memorabilia portraying himself.
In a Wednesday news release, Individuals for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) explained its recently created image as a “fitting” picture for White Home Chief Medical Advisor and NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci’s “office tribute to himself.”
“Nobody likes Anthony Fauci more than Anthony Fauci,” the group specified, declaring that evidence of it might be seen in a “current peek inside the world head office of the Anthony Fauci Fan Club– his home office.”
The group was referencing video of Fauci’s workplace that appeared in the Disney+ feature documentary in October, and which drew criticism just recently after stills started circulating online indicating the numerous products illustrating the veteran immunologist.

“His walls, festooned in different tones of Anthony Fauci, including a life-size portrait and his own bobblehead, show that the director of the National Institute of Allergic Reaction and Contagious Illness (NIAID) actually likes pictures of himself,” the group said.
As a result, PETA announced it had developed the “newest addition” for Fauci’s collection of souvenirs: a high-resolution photomosaic “made of hundreds of tiny photographs of the monkeys and beagles he and NIAID have actually tortured and killed in terrible experiments.”

“If Anthony Fauci is going to surround himself with pictures of himself, they might too be precise,” said PETA Senior citizen Vice President Kathy Guillermo. “Fauci has actually managed the torment and death of countless animals in colossally outrageous, inefficient experiments that assist no one however eliminate animals by the rating.”
“He should be reminded of that constantly,” she added.
The group concluded by advising Fauci to embrace its method, which includes phasing out animal experiments.
“PETA prompts Fauci to implement its Research study Modernization Deal, a strategy developed by PETA researchers to replace unsuccessful animal experimentation techniques with organs-on-a-chip, supercomputers, three-dimensional tissue designs, and other high-tech research approaches,” it said.
The creation of the mosaic comes as animal experimentation by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in addition to billions bought research studies such as efforts at producing transgender monkeys and experiments including the tormenting of beagles, have come under fire, with the global not-for-profit considering them both “vicious” and “illogical.”
NIH is currently facing a congressional probe after reports emerged last month declaring the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invested millions of taxpayer dollars on “vicious” experimentation including injecting beagle young puppies with drug.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is now leading the examination into the accusations.
Last month, Guillermo called for Fauci’s termination, implicating him of “perpetuating the problem” and being “in the way.”
In December, PETA senior vice president of cruelty investigations Daphna Nachminovitch implicated the NIH of participation in a $1.2 million agreement to purchase beagles for “cruel experiments.”
