A federal judge has ruled that Utah's ban on secretly filming farm and slaughterhouse operations is unconstitutional:
[U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby] rejected the state's defense of the law, saying Utah had failed to show the ban was intended to ensure the safety of animals and farm workers from disease or injury.
In his ruling, Shelby noted that one of the bill's sponsors in the state legislature, Rep. John Mathis, said the ban was a response to "a trend nationally of some propaganda groups ... with a stated objective of undoing animal agriculture in the United States." The judge noted that another sponsor, Sen. David Hinkins said it targeted "vegetarian people that [are] trying to kill the animal industry."
Ag-gag is a term used to describe a class of anti-whistleblower laws that apply within the agriculture industry.

How to tell that Ethanol-fueled is lying? Just look at the weather in CA at the moment. No one wants to run an oven for 4 hours on a day like today and E-f doesn't have enough money to run A/C to keep his pigsty cool.

His alcohol damaged brain is hallucinating again. The likely scenario is he's passed out behind a 7-11 with an old bum wine soaked rotisserie chicken sitting in a sun baked trash can. God knows what the ribs are...
