Related: About this forumBillboards urge Ted Cruz to end controversial testing of pregnant sheep at Texas A&M
Experiments at Texas A&M University in which researchers get pregnant sheep drunk enough to cause brain damage to their offspring has drawn the ire of a Washington, D.C., group, which is also targeting U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit health organization that advocates for alternatives to animal testing, is opposing A&M's practice of getting sheep drunk to examine the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome.
University officials have chosen not to answer questions about the practice.
The group plans to erect two billboards in Bryan-College Station next week and will file a complaint with the Texas Office for the Prevention of Developmental Disabilities.

The real crime though is that the sheep probably get higher quality hooch than I do!
