Videos obtained through undercover investigations make us aware of the horrific conditions on factory farms. Mercy for Animals recently initiated a #NoAgGag campaign to bring attention to the so-called “ag-gag” laws proposed in various states that would ban such videos from being produced.

At our most recent Compassionate Action for Animals potluck, a bunch of us participated in the campaign with a NoAgGag photo shoot. You can see a collage of the photos on our blog and all of the individual photos on Flickr.

We believe that it’s our constitutional right to know where our food comes from and that it’s important for consumers to be aware of what life is like for animals on factory farms. Without these investigations, the meat industry cannot be held accountable.

You can take action today! Sign the petition to urge the North Carolina governor to veto this unconstitutional bill and share our #NoAgGag Facebook post.

Another way to participate in our work on behalf of the animals is to come to our banquet reception this Saturday, May 16, at 7:30pm at the Wellstone Center in St. Paul. For just $10 you can get dessert and drinks, see a short presentation, take part in a silent auction, and mingle with other animal-friendly folks. It’ll be lots of fun, and I’d love to see you there. Register today!

For the animals,
