Some years ago goats were used to study the wounding effects of various bullets.
So?

The pneumatic cannon that fired frozen chickens at aircraft canopies was my favorite.

IIRC the testing on the goats was more (all?) about medical training rather than developing ballistic information.
Better than using humans I would submit.

Ballistic impact studies have been going on for over a century. Before WW1 the German Army investigated ways to protect cavalry horses without overbearing the horse with armor. Worn out dray and farm horses were expended in the test of various ballistic protection gear.
