Animal Agriculture Alliance Executive Director says Animal Agriculture is becoming a Target to Anti-Agriculture Campaigns

In recent years, the Animal Agriculture Alliance has adjusted the groups they focus on because of the changes in the animal rights movement. Kay Johnson-Smith, the Executive Director for the Animal Agriculture Alliance, says the reason for this change in focus is because of a more united front among animal activist groups.
More and more animal rights organizations are making a transition from research animals to farm animals and they are starting to make animal agriculture their number one target for campaigns, says Johnson-Smith. Many of these animal rights organizations are also beginning to strategize together to make their agendas known to the general public.
One of the ways these animal rights activists are strategizing is by using undercover employees to become hired by farms and shoot video. This transition allows them to often times mischaracterize what people would typically see on farms.
Kay Johnson-Smith is our guest today and provides more insight into the strategies and agendas of these anti-agriculture organizations.
