Gov. Terry Branstad of Iowa just signed the ag-gag bill. Iowa is the first state to make it a crime to go undercover in a slaughterhouse or factory farm. Branstad is a coward. The government always signs unpopular laws at the end of the day on Fridays, because media generally doesn't pay attention and the public pays less attention to the news over the weekend.
Seven additional states trying to pass ag-gag legislation:
Illinois: HB 5143
New York: S 5172
Utah: HB 187
Indiana: SB 184
Minnesota: HF 1369/ SF 1118 (bill pending)
Missouri: SB 695 (bill pending)
Nebraska: LB 915 (bill pending)
I agree that Branstad is a coward...to put it nicely. This is so sad. Now animals can be tortured and mistreated even more and people who eat them will most likely reach poor health sooner wondering how and why... and the medical industry will get richer. Just the way they want...and most American's are saying it's okay by continuing to buy what they buy at the register.
Come on America. When sill we start saying enough is enough?
