Undercover animal abuse videos could soon be illegal
Wake County, North Carolina – Chickens buried alive. Pigs so sick that their intestines hang out of their bodies. These are some of the grisly scenes from videos taken by animal rights activists who went undercover at farms that produce food destined for dinner tables.
It’s a tactic animal rights activists have used for years, going undercover at slaughterhouses and factory farms to document squalid conditions, abuse and neglect. Their videos have gone mainstream and led to criminal charges, fines and even the largest meat recall in American history.
But undercover video is under attack and with it, activists argue, their ability to expose animal abuses that can make meat dangerous to eat.

all animal facilities should be fully monitored by streaming CCTV – that anyone can see – all employees identifiable – and that they know they are on public view
all animal facilities should be fully covered by streaming CCTV so that anyone anywhere can see what is happening and all employees know they are potentially being watched 100% of the time – and fully identifiable – the only way to stop abuse and negligence
That's it. Make it illegal to monitor the behavior of these people behind closed doors. That makes perfect sense! If nobody sees it, it's okay!
