HLN Tackles Bills Aimed at Banning Undercover Cruelty Investigations
Controversy continues to broil over state legislation attempting to ban the filming of factory farms. Following the Des Moines Register’s editorial
decrying an Iowa bill on constitutional grounds, dedicated animal
advocate and television news journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell has spoken
out against these shameful efforts to criminalize undercover
investigations.
On her Headline News Network (HLN) show, Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell,
Jane recently focused on the harsh realities of factory farming and the
crucial role of undercover investigations in bringing animal suffering
to light. Using Mercy For Animals’ investigative footage of pregnant pigs crammed into gestation crates and dairy farm workers stabbing cows with pitchforks, Jane condemned the kind of cruelty that agribusiness desperately hopes to conceal in the courtroom.

Discussing the motivation behind pro-factory farm legislation in Iowa
and Florida, Mr. Shapiro explained: “These are outrageous bills that are
intended to keep the American public in the dark when it comes to the
routine cruelty that animals face on factory farms.”
He added: “We need to let our legislators know that we want to see
reform of these animal factories, not pushing them further and further
into secrecy.”
