Idaho #AgGag Law Struck Down as Unconstitutional

2015-08-04 13:33:03| Agriculture - Topix.net

A U.S. District Court has struck down Idaho's "ag-gag" law as an unconstitutional attempt by the agriculture industry to silence journalists, animal advocates, and whistleblowers who expose cruel farming practices. The damning ruling -the first of its kind-spells trouble for the agriculture industry's attempts in other state to outlaw photography and video recordings of animal welfare, workers' rights, and environmental violations.
