Should animal activists be allowed to go undercover?

The Iowa Legislature is faced with deciding whether it is right or wrong for undercover activists to expose the mistreatment of animals on the state's farms and livestock processing facilities.
Farmers are pushing for a law that would make it illegal for an animal activist to pursue a job at a farm or processing plant just to videotape the process and campaign against animal cruelty. Animal welfare officials say such a law would negatively affect food safety and animal protection.
