Texas aims to legalize hunting invasive sheep from helicopters

Texas lawmakers have introduced a new bill intended to help the state’s ongoing fight against an invasive species of big game animal. But in order to properly tackle the aoudad sheep (Ammotragus lervia), Texas House Representative Eddie Morales argues that it’s time to call in the helicopters.

“This is not a baa-a-ad bill,” Rep. Morales explained during a recent legislative session while employing his best sheep impression. “And I’m not pulling any wool over anyone’s eyes, either.”

Aoudad sheep bring shear destruction — they eat everything, spread disease, and push out native species.
