Reality of Wool Industry Deemed Too Graphic for Billboard
As freezing weather continues to grip the Midwest, PETA had hoped to run this eye-catching billboard in Madison, Wisconsin.

PETA’s international sheep-shearing video exposé showed not only real blood but also gentle sheep who were punched in the face, stomped on, jabbed with electric clippers, and even killed by impatient workers.
