ag-gag

A new report puts a spotlight on so-called “ag-gag” laws, offering a clear look at how these efforts to criminalize whistleblowing “are part of a sweeping crackdown on dissent.”

Activists who try to film animal abuse on Big Ag farms often face a fine of up to $5000 for whistleblowing on the industry. But just a few short weeks ago, a federal judge ruled that Idaho’s controversial ‘ag gag’ law was unconstitutional, and said that criminalizing undercover documentation violates both free speech and the equal protection clauses of the constitution.

Sickening, hidden camera recordings at a factory farm run by leading chicken-producer Tyson Foods reveals shocking animal abuse. This video is shocking, disgusting, and sad, so if prepare yourself for what is about to come.
In the video above, you can see how thousands of chicks are stuffed inside a windowless warehouse, where there is no sun or fresh air. They are thrown and tossed around to the point of pain and injury, all while having barely enough room to move in tightly enclosed spaces.

Big Ag is up to no good again – what’s new? This time they are introducing a bill in North Carolina through Governor McCrory’s office in order to stifle those who might speak out against immoral and illegal practices of the industrial agricultural model.
