PETA exposed hideous and scientifically invalid experiments at Texas Tech in which experimenters deprived cats of sleep by locking them inside freezing rooms or making them balance on a beam of wood suspended in a 55-gallon drum of water overnight. PETA reported the lab to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), asking that the funds for the experiments be withdrawn. Footage of the experiments was turned into a widely distributed video used in PETA’s anti-vivisection campaign.
