Ag-Gag Laws and the Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act
Utah resident Amy Meyer was the first person prosecuted under "Ag-Gag" laws for filming animal abuse at a slaughterhouse from a public easement. ALEC's "Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act" provides the framework for these laws, which categorize undercover photography of factory farms as economic terrorism. The FBI has reportedly prioritized these investigations since 2003.
