A truly repugnant experiment financially supported by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has been condemned by national campaign group Animal Aid. The experiment, which was performed at Cambridge University, involved cutting sheep open in late pregnancy, pulling out the limbs of their unborn lambs and inserting tubes and monitors into the babies’ legs and major blood vessels. The ewes and unborn lambs were then made to endure two prolonged episodes of suffocation – essentially by a bag being placed over the mothers’ heads – before they were both killed. please sign animalaid.org.uk/h/n/NEWS/news_experiments/ALL/2996//
