Whistleblowers on industrial-scale farms might help prevent the next pandemic. So why do new "ag-gag" laws criminalize activists and investigative journalists?

Biosecurity was the biggest justification for ag-gag laws, but Cdn whistleblowers have never spread zoonotic diseases in this manner. The very design of overcrowding in mainstream animal agriculture has led to outbreaks of infectious disease, as we're seeing with bird flu today.
On a more hopeful note, civil society resistance matters. Groups like @AnimalJustice have successfully pushed back against the adoption of ag-gag laws.
