Iowa law to criminalize documentation of animal abuses

animal cruelty

Iowa legislation has passed a bill, House File (H.F.) 589, which would prevent private citizens from documenting (filming or photographing) a farm without the farmer’s consent. 

The bill supported by the big agricultural concerns is aimed at preventing undercover work that would expose animal abuses in the factory-farming industry. The idea is to keep consumers from knowing abuses taking place in the industry. In the past such exposure by animal rights activists has led to conviction for abuse or neglect of factory-farmed animals.
