Vox: Undercover Videos Are Vital, Reveal “Legal Animal Abuse

A new video spotlights the important of transparency in the
food industry, the power of undercover investigations at factory farms and
slaughterhouses, and the laws that seek to criminalize them.

Vox
explains:

When activist organizations do
these undercover investigations, they can often reveal shocking employee
behavior on farms—but they can also reveal perfectly legal, standard industry
practices that the public doesn’t know about. And with a population
increasingly uninvolved with food production, there’s a lot that we don’t know
about how our food is made.

The video includes footage from undercover investigations,
including several by Mercy For Animals. The overwhelming takeaway is that
undercover videos are necessary for informing people about how meat is produced.

Meanwhile, criticism of unjust ag-gag laws, which are designed
to punish whistleblowers who document and expose criminal activity at factory
farms and slaughterhouses, continues to mount. Just last month, a federal judge
struck down Idaho’s controversial ag-gag law, declaring it unconstitutional.

We can protect animals and stand up for our right to know
how our food is produced by ending our support of an industry that shields
abusers from public scrutiny.
