FBI Says Activists Who Investigate Factory Farms Can Be Prosecuted as Terrorists
The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force has kept files on activists who expose animal welfare abuses on factory farms and recommended prosecuting them as terrorists, according to a new document uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act.
This new information comes as the Center for Constitutional Rights has filed a lawsuit challenging the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) as unconstitutional because its vague wording has had a chilling effect on political activism. This document adds to the evidence demonstrating that the AETA goes far beyond property destruction, as its supporters claim.
The 2003 FBI file details the work of several animal rights activists who used undercover investigation to document repeated animal welfare violations. The FBI special agent who authored the report said they “illegally entered buildings owned by [redacted] Farm… and videotaped conditions of animals.”
The solution is quite simple... dont eat meat...
Dairy, poultry or seafood, and GMOs.
If You Don`t Like America Get The Hell Out! (sorry I did not say that, I support Ows)
I don't like what I see in this country, I'm not leaving, I'm gonna help fix it for EVERYONE. You need to learn to DO something to fix this world, not just spout tired lines.
Iam on it with OWS !
They want to make everyone terrorists just like they have made everyone criminals. Isnt there a movie that outs factory farming???
If we have to face animal exploitation then people start thinking about how society treats its own people. THAT is why the government does not want people to be concerned with animals.
The USDA and their vets only care about profit, not welfare of animals.
"A few Midwestern states are home to the largest concentration of puppy mills in the country, the majority of which are USDA licensed. Many of the operators of these puppy mills hold other jobs and utilize mass-production methods to produce what they and government regulators consider an agricultural commodity."

Nothing gory in these videos, but they do show animals in desperate situations being rescued. Seriously, you will be sending these videos to your friends, don't let them buy a puppy for Christmas without educating them.

Rosy, i think FBI mention those animal factory which produce national produce like chicken pork turkey cattle etc using gmo additives hormones and other stuff to multiply the benefits. Here, check this out: http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/schoolaged/earlypuberty.html
I know, I do not have beef and chicken undercover cruelty videos handy, they upset me so much. I offered the undercover videos I have seen and felt comfortable posting, as there is not gore in them. Puppies are considered an agricultural commodity, they can live their entire lives in tiny cages. I think this can be a start for some people, as most think dogs should NOT be confined, away from people interaction their entire lives. Then we can talk about battery chickens.
Gee i wonder who funded the senators that voted yes on that vote.
I wonder how many legislators own factory farms.
i wonder what kind of psychological test the Federal Bureau have in place for recruitment because obviously they hire people with dysfunctional brains. They recruit people that are just like machines, they take orders and do not question authority even at the fate of humanity; not to mention the safety and what's in best interest for the people of their own country.
Ever hear the term "Virginia farmboys"? ;) Actually I like a show "Meet the Farmer" on Free Speech TV. It's a Virginia show. Probably the psy test is the same as given before being appointed to a congressional AG subcommittee.
I say we vote all of those scrooges out of office, ASAP!
Not an easy task. Who do you have in line to replace the beasts in office?
People that we elect, who agree not to take any lobbying money or and dollars from corporate interests: https://sites.google.com/site/the99percentdeclaration/
we make anyone who is willing to run for office sign a contract, a people's contract therefore it must be written by the people and if they are not willing to sign the contract then they are not fit to run.
I like that!!
Stop complaining. You WANT bigger government, raise taxes to support it, so why are you complaining?
Have another donut and relax a bit. I'd answer your question if I thought you were playing level.
