A recent federal court ruling will protect Iowa’s livestock industry from animal rights activists who lie to gain access to animal facilities.
Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit upheld a lower court decision on 2012’s so-called “ag-gag law” making it illegal to make false statements to gain employment at livestock farms and processing plants.
Iowa Cattlemen’s Association CEO Matt Deppe tells Brownfield having the 2012 law back in effect will help protect family farmers.
