Farms: Factory Farms Threatened... By The Press - 'Ag Gag' Rules Exposed
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
"Filming or photographing farm animal operations without a farmer's consent would be criminalized under a bill sent to the Kentucky Senate. The Senate Agriculture Committee attached the language to a House-passed bill on Tuesday. Kentucky Farm Bureau executive Jeff Harper says the provisions are needed because Kentucky is becoming a target of animal-rights activists who secretly film or photograph farm operations."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down. *Read more here from The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/25/kentucky-ag-gag_n_5030196.html ********** The Largest Online News Show in the World.

There's a law against this now? Fucking inethical agribusinesses.

Fuck monsanto

I raise livestock.
Any place that doesn't want their facilities recorded should be shut down on that alone.
In my opinion, it's no different than the police against citizens recording them...Why, obviously because the are guilty of wrongdoing, and they don't want any proof of those actions.
Edit: Combine this with the laws and regulations that are meant to keep small farmers/ranchers out of business. What a travesty. -
All animal abuse needs to come to an end.

When I was a young girl, I went to the local farmers' market with the women in my mom's family. They bought and put up all of the vegetables that we ate that winter. The men in the family fished all summer and that's what we ate all winter. We for years had milk delivered to the house from the local dairy. So we bought much less at the grocery store. Contrast to today. I always think about this when I eat Green Giant corn and spit out a piece of the cob. Check out this older article from Huffington report about how to eat healthier: http//www.huffingtonpost.com/nicol-hahn-niman/avoiding-factory-farm-foo_b_353525.html. The author also wrote a book called Righteous Porkchop available at amazon.com.

You can't blame them with the Horrors of the Factory Farm being so sicking that nobody but me can watch a Peta film. I mean seriously! Have you ever tried to watch one?
I have asked people about it and I always get the same response. "I can't watch that kind of thing. It's just too upsetting." But they are still buying meat like it came from Kobi Japan.
After watching these movies and reading the book (Fast Food Nation) I went off meat for almost 4 months. And to this day I don't consume meat like I used too.
If you think your tough enough to endure a Peta film I present... The Peta Film Challenge.
Not for the faint of heart nor the weak of stomach. This challenge requires you sit down with a piece of Steak, a Pork Chop, a Chicken Part (your favorite) and a Turkey part. (your choice).
As the movie moves from example to example you must consume the various meats in front of you that are represented in the film. All while wearing a fur coat.
If you can reach the end of the film and you haven't started crying, throwing up or just flat quit...... You win.
And what do you win.......... AssHole of the Century. -
Wasn't the "Iron Maiden" a medieval torture device/ method of execution? WHAT THE FUCK???
-
"Don't ask what it is or how we treated it... Just shut the fuck up and eat it. It's edible, trust us. ;)"
-
Yeah, sometimes, you just have to say politicians that they are stupid. Doesn't this kind of ban go against the constitutional right of freedom of speech?
-
If these fuckers could sell us human flesh and disguise it as "ground beef" and it was cheaper for them, guess what, they would, because all they care about is their bottom line and the more money they can make and the cheaper it is for them to run their facilities, the better, period.

Trespassing is trespassing and should be prosecuted. I'm against gag-laws. That being said these are my thoughts. Places where live stock production is happening tend to be very bloody. This doesn't mean bad things are happening, it's just the nature of the business. Because these places tend to be very bloody, passing out is common. We had people in one of my classes who had worked around animals their entire lives and fainted randomly. I'm not ok with journalists sneaking onto the property because it is trespassing and illegal along with the fact that they do create risks for themselves and the farms.

Can't wait until we get vat meat. =p
-
No one is going to regulate themselves FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!! THIS SHIT PISSES ME OFF!!! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUUUUUU! UGHHHH! hell no! HELL NO!UGHHHH!
-

-
and why are perpetrators of crimes against human and animal seem to have the most rights? bullies are protected... abusers are protected.... the victims and whistleblowers always seem to get the shaft. this society is fucked. just fucked.
-
who the fuck would beat a horse!?!? jesus christ.
-
I've managed to live happy and very healthy over 20+ years without an ounce of meat. I quit specifically for this reason of horrific factory farming practices.

Wow...
