Idaho Governor Signs "Ag-Gag" Law 
----------------------------------


 
Idaho Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter has signed a so-called ag-gag law,
making Idaho the seventh state to criminalize the act of filming without
permission in farming facilities. The ban comes after undercover
activists in Idaho filmed workers stomping on cows, beating, dragging
and even sexually abusing them at a dairy farm.
