The Ag Gag law
This law prevents exposing animal cruelty in farms and slaughter houses. The ALEC is supposed to be a model legislative organization designed to protect animals and humans alike by providing modeling policies to follow. But in reality, their goal is deceptive by preventing consumers from ever seeing the animal abuse, contaminated crops and illegal working conditions. Their risky food safety practices result in food safety recalls leading to outbreaks of food borne illness that are common practice behind factory farm gates.
Ag gag legislation:
Hides animal abuse
Threatens public health and safety
Threatens enforcement of environmental laws
Harms farm workers and whistle blowers
Obstructs law enforcement
Undermines freedom of speech and freedom of the press
