Undercover photographs and videos taken at factory farms belonging to some of the nation’s largest meat producers often show horrific footage of animals in crowded, substandard living conditions suffering beyond almost anything that we can otherwise imagine. So called “ag-gag” bills, now being considered in multiple states, could shield the public from seeing such evidence.
Supporters, such as Florida Republican Senator Jim Norman, have argued that such bills protect the rights of farmers. Many farmers have indeed supported the bills. The Florida Tribune, for example, interviewed Wilton Simpson, a farmer who lives in Norman’s district.
Exciting to know that Florida is spearheading the path for the continued mishandling of one of mankind’s greatest resources, the animals we choose to slaughter for consumption.

This is outrageous. As consumers, we deserve the right to know the products we are ingesting, and for the gov to encourage and promise secrecy to Ag farmers is for them to promote cruelty and suspicion. What should the farmers have to hide anyway?
