Timeline: Big Ag's Campaign to Shut Up Its Critics
|
17.6.2013 |
Mother Jones |
| Mar. 1990
Kansas adopts the country's first ag gag law , making it illegal for a person to enter a private animal facility to take pictures or video if they have "intent to damage the enterprise conducted at the facility ."
