Ag-gag laws are not about biosecurity -- they're about hiding from the public what happens on factory farms. Several provinces in Canada, including Ontario, have similar legislation.
If there was any question
- glaring example of businesses working to hide conditions for animals
- no independent inspections
- flying drone within 400 feet - one month in jail
- flying with a camera on that drone - one year in jail👇
