Question

In 2013, eleven states proposed Ag-Gag bills, but none of them passed. Choose one state where a bill was proposed but not passed. You are a legislative aide to Senator Smith, and you’ve been assigned to work on animal issues for the Senator, who has asked you to put together a memo on the legislative history of the bill. Describe the bill, and research as much as you can about its history (use the state legislature’s website, or contact the state legislature to find out how you can get a copy of the “bill jacket”). Who supported it? Who opposed it? What were their arguments? How far did the bill get before it was defeated? What were the circumstances of the defeat? Are there plans in this state to re-introduce the legislation? If so, what changes have been made to give the bill a better chance this time? Decide for yourself if Senator Smith supports or opposes the legislation. Whichever angle you pick, provide some arguments that Senator Smith might make on the floor in support of, or in opposition to, such a bill in your state.

Concern for the welfare of cultivated animals has developed as industrialized cultivating (otherwise called factory cultivating) has become more noticeable in our nation's general public.

Numerous examinations have uncovered far reaching livestock mistreatment, bringing about extreme monetary implications for industrialized cultivating tasks; in specific cases, ranches have been compelled to close.

Comparative guidelines, known as ecoterrorism laws, were enacted preceding 2011 to defend industrialized cultivating undertakings from intruders expecting to cause property damage. Nonetheless, modern ag-gag laws (post-2011) are more worried about forestalling monetary injury than genuine real mischief. Adversaries contend that ag-gag laws are intended to conceal animal maltreatment from general society and that they permit industrialized cultivating tasks to put benefit in front of cultivated animal welfare. 
Ag-gag laws are isolated into three classifications, or a combination of two or every one of the three. The earliest modern-day ag-gag laws are known as "agricultural impedance" guidelines, and they restrict recording pictures or sounds without the proprietor's agreement in industrialized cultivating endeavors. Right off the bat, "agriculture extortion" guidelines were enacted; these ag-gag laws disallow individuals from entering or going after positions at industrialized cultivating ventures deceptively.
