It’s worth noting that in states with so-called ag-gag laws, these types of investigations would be illegal, resulting in punishment for the activist — not the workers abusing animals. In Wisconsin, a bill has not yet passed, but last month, Wisconsin legislator Rep. Lee Nerison announced that he is planning to introduce an ag-gag bill in the state which, if passed, would prevent animal cruelty at farms like Great Lakes from being seen or filmed by whistleblowers.
