Farm animals desperately need your help! Add your name today, and tell the National Conference of State Legislatures that you oppose ag-gag laws -- legislation that would hide abuse at factory farms.

Whistleblower investigations at factory farms have revealed images of animals living and dying in appalling, illegal and unethical conditions. These investigations have led to criminal cruelty charges, food recalls and public outcry.  But instead of cleaning up its act, the agriculture industry is trying to pass “ag-gag” laws to cover it up. These laws punish –even jail—anyone seeking to expose animal cruelty or other abusive farm practices through photographs, videos and other means.  Ag-gag bills have been introduced in nearly half of the states, and seven bills have already passed into law. With transparency effectively destroyed, animal abuse is allowed to continue, and the public is kept in the dark. 

Your legislators can fight for the truth and put a stop to this dangerous legislation. Sign this petition today to ask the National Conference of State Legislatures—a body composed of all state lawmakers—to oppose these bills. They need to hear that you want more transparency on America’s farms, not more secrecy and abuse.
