ACTION
New legislation (House File No. 136) proposed in Minnesota
attempts to crack down on activists who have exposed repeated
animal welfare violations. Among its provisions, the bill
targets anyone who documents an “image or sound” of animal
suffering in a sweeping list of “animal facilities,” including
factory farms, animal experimentation labs, and puppy mills.

And the people behind it? Representative Rod Hamilton, for
instance, is past president of the Minnesota Pork Producers, and
a current member.

INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
The bill also includes parallel provisions for “crop operation interference,”
“crop operation tampering,” and “crop operation fraud.”
“crop operation tampering,” and “crop operation fraud.”
All of this, of course, is part of a continued campaign by these
corporations, and the politicians who represent them, to attack and silence
their opponents. Groups like Mercy For Animals, PETA, Compassion Over Killing,
and the Humane Society have repeatedly exposed systemic animal welfare
violations in factory farms and other facilities. When people learn want goes on
in these facilities, and see for themselves, they change what they buy. It’s a
serious and effective threat to corporate profits.

Not surprisingly, this bill includes provisions for civil recovery and
equitable relief, so that corporations can force activists to compensate them
for any revenue lost due to the exposure of their violence.
