Dr Oz refuses to comment on report his research killed more than 300 dogs as Fetterman calls him ‘puppy killer’

Dr Mehmet Oz, a Donald Trump-endorsed candidate running for an open Senate seat in Pennsylvania, is facing resurfaced allegations that he was a "principal investigator" on experiments that resulted in the deaths of more than 300 dogs, including an entire litter of puppies. And, perplexingly, he doesn’t seem to want to refute these allegations or comment on them in any way.

Earlier this week, Jezebel reviewed 75 studies published in academic journals involving Dr Oz's teams at Columbia University and found Dr Oz's team had conducted experiments on at least 1,027 live animals. Of these experiments, 34 resulted in the deaths of at least 329 dogs, two killed 31 pigs, and 38 killed 661 rabbits and rodents.
