AG-GAG law repealed, judge rules it is unconstitutional
Filed under "came to our senses": Idaho's law, which made it illegal to film industrial animal abuse undercover, will finally be repealed. The law was pushed through by the multi-billion dollar dairy industry after it was burned by leaks:
In February 2014, Idaho became the seventh state to pass an “ag-gag law” or a farm secrecy statute aimed at political speech on industrial agricultural production.
The law was an industry response to an undercover operation in Bettencourt Dairy, which led to the recording animals abused and sexually molested. Dairy employees were charged and convicted of animal abuse.
