Trump running mate JD Vance and controversies go hand in hand.
First, the 39-year-old Ohio Senator was embroiled in a rumour of having sex with a couch.
It was followed by his ‘childless cat lady’ remarks on Kamala Harris.
However, the latest controversy is the charge that he is funding animal cruelty in what is now being dubbed the ‘burnt monkey testicle’ scandal.
The latest scandal can derail JD Vance’s 2024 campaign.
JD Vance Accused of Funding Animal Cruelty
In an article by Rolling Stone dated October 25, 2022, it was revealed that Vance is involved in a company funded by Vance’s venture capitalist firm, Narya, which is involved in animal cruelty.
The company is reported to be involved in brutal tests on live animals, which include dogs and monkeys.
The latest revelations have precipitated huge outrage and a closer look at Vance’s suitability for high office.
The investigations by Rolling Stone have revealed harrowing details about tests which are routinely carried out at AmplifyBio.
The report also revealed that many animals succumbed to the highly toxic testing procedures while others are left permanently crippled after the completion of the testing procedures.
The lab is also charged with making horrible mistakes during the testing procedures.
The report highlights one such instance when a monkey got trapped in faulty equipment, resulting in its death.
The technician’s errors also resulted in severe burns to other monkeys’ genitals. Vance is reported to own $100,000 in the company’s non-public stock, based on SEC filings.
The surfacing of the report created a huge backlash and the report was reposted on numerous social media sites.
Netizens were quick to express their disgust after the surfacing of the report.
One user posted,
‘How can we trust someone who funds such cruelty to hold any office, let alone the Vice Presidency?’
Another user wrote,
‘This says a lot about Vance’s poor judgment and values.’
One more user said,
‘How is this man a viable candidate…?’
The report adds one more controversy to the long list of controversies associated with the running mate of Presidential candidate Donald Trump.
