a Senate committee in Kentucky has unanimously approved legislation that
would
haven't hefty penalties and fines to
anyone who is trying to expose what happens in factory farms
now these are our so-called baghdad laws that protect these farms and allow them
to do whatever they want and a certain journalists and whistleblowers are
barred from leaking releasing any information about some other
abuses that go on in these farms now I have to give you a better idea of
exactly what will happen to you if you do decide to be a whistleblower or if
you do enter their private property
you will be charged for the Class B misdemeanor and you can get up to 90
days in jail and a $250 dollar fine
and again this is a way of deterring people from going into private property
and releasing information about the abuses that are happening
to the food we consume there was really am comforting
for example in the and no owns borough hog farm
them they were growing up piglets intestines
and then feeding it to the other pics oh well
that's unsanitary let alone discussing and when that was revealed well that her
people's feelings
I mean that might have affected their profits it might have also affected our
health
but how dare you expose that one you might cost them a nickel or even a dime
so this up proposal was actually
introduced right after the Humane Society released information about what
was going on in these hot farms in Kentucky
so abduction the Iron Maiden hog farm Jake and yet they were grounding up
intestines in the repeating at the pigs and in the course unhealthy
and these are things that we consume this is part that we consume so there
was a lot of concern about that
so the politicians of course are gonna listen to the owners of these farms
and they're gonna follow the money and they're not going to keep our best
interests in mind
so what I love is that someone from the Kentucky Farm Bureau released a
statement about this new look what we don't have anything to worry about
we just got to trust the farmers to do the right thing alright you like
themselves about what you're reading a statement
I would say to them that the camera live stock in poultry
in the former's bottom line the better they take care of their animals the
bottles animals are going to do
when they go to market oh yeah definitely that's why we've had so many
incidents
where people got extremely sick from livestock coming from these factory
farms that abuse their animals regularly like
the at least twice a year you hear stories about people with E-coli
sicknesses and all that stuff so it's ridiculous
I don't know miss makes me angry because this goes against freedom of speech this
goes against freedom of the press if you are journalist this is the kinda stuff
that you should be exposing and now their laws on the books
or will be laws on the books at this passes to prevent you from doing that
underwent I remember when this historic chemical
a chemicals in Texas shoot was a regulated network to really well
remember what i'd
giant brick an explosion over the store the chemicals
alright its turns are sometimes people cut corners
if you don't regulate them and say hey make sure that you protect people that
are working poor you
that are working around you and by the way that also consume your food if
you're
working on a farm now by the way that
for minnows borrow when the name did the Iron Maiden form
I'm going to send a couple camps it's pretty sure that it was going to be okay
now this is not the only place a try this fifteen divers they say tried
I gag bills in in that Tennessee they found
video over course being beaten and so immediately after I but we gotta stop
that not always remain
but might beauty may have the horses being beaten so that the Humane Society
says that there have been as many as 15 I love these add gag laws proposed
and none of them have passed but they're actually wrong about that there've been
a certain variations on these laws passed in several states of course a lot
of red states
in Idaho which was the most recent state to pass such legislation
I'm the governor signed it into law and it would impose fines and jail time on
activists who secretly film abuse on Idaho's commercial farms
it came about as the result of the animal rights organization Mercy for
Animals
released a video of animal abuse by workers so of course the government you
know instead of responding to those abuses
they respond to the whistleblowers or the though investigators who find the
abuses happening all the montana has had a long the book since 1991
and again it's a variation they're not all the same it differs from one state
to another
North Dakota since 1991 in Utah since 2012
obtaining employment under false pretenses
is considered illegal and the reason why they did that was because people get
hired at these farm so they can secretly record what was going on
so this was the government's response to that they're like no no no no no we
gotta protect our company's okay
in the new one proposing Kentucky you could get 90 days in jail
how dare you tell us how unsanitary our food is so my got a jail shoma less
strike it's become so commonplace like chair was saying in the first hour
that they're like oh yeah it will obviously the first thing I do is put a
corporation yeah
and by the way if that the legislator is correct
with a guy from the Kentucky Farm Bureau's corrected um
n you gotta lil formers would naturally take a rather
animal so well anyway then grade then you don't mind is taping
