Ag-gag laws prohibit the making of undercover videos, recordings and photographs of agricultural facilities. Exactly which activities and which types of facilities are covered vary in the various state laws and bills, but the intent is always the same - to stop animal protection advocates from documenting animal cruelty with undercover investigations. The laws are objectionable because of First Amendment concerns as well as general policy concerns, such as punishment of whistle-blowers.
Undercover videos of cruelty to farmed animals have led to
police investigations and even felony animal cruelty indictments.
