Of note:
- prohibits "entering an animal or research facility to take pictures
- crates a "terrorist registry" for those convicted under the law
Fortunately it seems primarily only in the US and in a minority of states.
- Falling3 10y agoThe animal ag lobby is strong here unfortunately.
- finid 10y agoThe interesting thing, is that the laws are being passed by your elected officials, not a lobby group. Yes, I know the lobby groups bribe the lawmakers, but why do voters allow that to happen? Why not take those lawmakers to task? Voters don't seem to care, really.
- josho 10y agoIf you read the Wikipedia link above the law was written by the lobbyists. It's up to the elected officials to take the time to write their own bill or they may simply work from the lobbyists draft.
