- John Fetterman labeled Mehmet Oz a “puppy killer” following a bombshell news article by Jezebel.
- Oz-supervised experiments resulted in 329 deaths, the outlet reported.
- Fetterman summoned Oz to Twitter and asked for his help in keeping the #PuppyKiller away from the US Senate.
Pennsylvania John Fetterman, Democratic Senate candidate, attacked Mehmet Oz as his GOP rival on Tuesday following a bombshell news report that hundreds of dogs died in experiments that were linked to the latter.
Fetterman used Twitter to share Jezebel’s reportThe title of this article is “Dr. Oz’s Scientific Investigations Killed Over 300 Dogs and Entire Litter Of Puppies.”
The Monday publication was a deep dive on scientific studies by Oz that were published between 1989-2010, when he was principal investigator on 75 projects at The. Columbia University Institute of Comparative Medicine.
Jezebel reviewed 75 studies and found that Oz’s team experimented on 1,027 animals, including dogs, cows., rabbits, and rodents. According to the outlet, 329 dogs died in 34 of these experiments. It also noted that Oz didn’t kill the animals.
Insider couldn’t independently verify whether animals died during Oz’s experiments. Insider reached out to Oz representatives but they did not respond immediately.
Fetterman said in a tweet Tuesday that Dr. Oz was a dog killer.
Fetterman continued his slam on Oz for the majority of the day. He referenced the Jezebel article multiple times in tweets.
“I love my dogs. Dr. Oz and other sick people get their joy by hurting animals Fetterman wrote in a second tweet. “We have a close family here in PA, and I could use your help keeping the #PuppyKiller outside the US Senate.”
I LOVE my dogs
Dr. Oz and other sick people get their joy by harming animals.
We are a close-knit race in Pennsylvania and I would appreciate your support to keep it that way. #PuppyKillerOut of the US Senate https://t.co/nelNpgVs0U

Fetterman also retweeted Tuesday a May 13th photo of Oz with a therapy dog.
“Has anyone seen the dog since May?” Fetterman questioned.
Fetterman has also launched a new piece of campaign merchandise — a 2.5-inch sticker on a golden retrieverWith the words “Dog Lovers for Fetterman” on it.
Per a review of Tuesday’s tweets by the GOP candidate, Oz didn’t appear to have replied to Fetterman.
For months, Oz and Fetterman have been exchanging barbs. Oz became a citizen in September. After Fetterman’s insult about Fetterman’s fashion sense, he was dragged onto Twitter.
