Farm Video Ban Passes House

A measure passed in the Iowa House yesterday bans people from working at an animal facility under false pretenses and taking video or photos of the operation without the owners consent. Supporters say the plan protects farmers from activists who may come in and try to damage their operation, spread disease, or take photographs and display them out-of-context. Some lawmakers fear banning undercover video inside commercial breeders could destroy efforts to crack down on puppy mills in the state.
