Big Ag Lobbies to Make it Illegal to Secretly Film Animal Abuse

Big Ag Lobbies to Make it Illegal to Secretly Film Animal Abuse

"Big Agribusiness is fed up with pesky animal rights activists who expose abuses of farm animals on film.  According to the Associated Press, agriculture committees in the Iowa state government have approved a bill to outlaw secret filming of animal abuses and punish the accused with a $7500 fine and up to five years in jail."

"Bradley Miller, director of the Humane Farming Association, had this to say to the AP:
"They're trying to intimidate whistle blowers and put a chill on legitimate anti-cruelty investigations. Clearly the industry feels that it has something to hide or it wouldn't be going to these extreme and absurd lengths."



Never, ever interact with a government official without having a recorder running.
