      I don't think there's anything as damning in our food system as ag-gag laws. Industrial farms torture animals so completely that they need to pass laws criminalizing exposure, and then the government does their bidding, prosecuting activists.https://youtu.be/5PSTrcc386w

      We should be allowed to see how our food is made. We should be able to bear seeing how our food is made. If the conditions in which we raise animals for slaughter are so awful they can't be seen, then they should be reformed, not hidden by the force of the state.

      To note good news, when you give voters a direct voice, they vote for reforms improving the treatment of animals raised for food. Ag-gag laws are about depriving the public of the information that might lead them to demand change. It's anti-democratic.https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2018/11/7/18071246/midterms-amendment-13-proposition-12-california-florida-animal-welfare …

          People want meat, they want affordability, but they don't want cruelty. The equilibrium right now is producers hide the cruelty. Better laws and more exposure could push us to an equilibrium of finding ways to produce affordable meat that isn't so cruel.

          I’ve adopted 4Greyhounds over the years. Adoption agencies have done great things and keep the Dog Racing industry clean by monitoring the Greys through their racing careers. They love to run. I don’t believe it was the right thing to do. Greyhounds will disappear in America.pic.twitter.com/29YZeMubui

          Focus is very impressed with the Greyhound Racing Businesses 98% adoption rate. Retirement treats them well. Hopefully Ezra will adopt one of the 6,000-8,000 hounds soon to be retired.pic.twitter.com/EvYnkbuZN8

          Also, Florida voted for restoring felons voting right but state legislators think question was worded vaguely and want a redo.

          Indeed. If you want to go deeper Ezra, for your show or The Weeds, you should reach out to @TedGenoways author of ‘The Chain’ & ‘This Blessed Earth.” He’s sharp on ag-gag laws, and their effects.

          Canadian lawyer here. I've often wondered how these laws haven't been struck down. I would expect here they would be found to violate our Charter's free expression provisions which are generally less robust than the 1st Amendment.

          Farm justice movements are completely forgotten and isolated in the progressive coalition and then we wonder why rural voters don’t vote our way!!!
