EXPOSED! Activist Groups Exploit Unconstitutional Strategies to Undermine Animal Agriculture


In an effort to achieve their ultimate goal of ending production agriculture, activist groups are trying to reshape animal agriculture in this country as we know it today, according to Hannah Thompson-Weeman of the Animal Agriculture Alliance. One strategy they are employing lately in doing this, she tells Radio Oklahoma Ag Network Farm Director Ron Hays, is to take the rules, regulations and laws of one state and force them upon producers in neighboring states. Essentially, these groups have found a way to dictate their beliefs beyond their own borders.


"This one in Massachusetts even included that in their piece of legislation that it applies to not only farmers and ranchers in Massachusetts, but any products sold in Massachusetts," said Thompson-Weeman referring to a recent ballot initiative in the Bay State that added restrictions to certain production practices.


She says that this measure burdens retailers as much as it does producers, who now must verify all their suppliers are in compliance with the new law. She asserts this action will be used as a major argument in challenging these laws spearheaded by activist groups who seek to dictate their own ideas on production across state lines to hinder the agricultural industry and advance their own agenda.


"They can have a big impact by doing that and they realize that," Thompson-Weeman said. "That's one grounds that's going to be used to challenge this."


Listen to Hays speak with Thompson-Weeman about strategies on both sides of the fight for animal agriculture, on today's Beef Buzz.
