What if the government made it much
0:01
harder to expose animal cruelty? We
0:04
might not see videos like this one.
0:06
Earlier this year, an animal rights
0:08
activist flew a drone over a calf ranch
0:10
in California and documented employees
0:13
abusing animals. The drone captured
0:15
workers kicking calves in the face,
0:17
grinding a hot iron into their skulls,
0:20
apparently without pain relief, and
0:22
confining them in tiny crates. Over the
0:24
last decade, animal advocates say that
0:26
drones have become an essential tool.
0:28
They use them to capture the enormous
0:30
scale of factory farms and the welfare
0:33
issues at these operations that house
0:35
billions of animals for meat, milk, and
0:37
egg production. But a proposed rule by
0:39
the Federal Aviation Administration
0:41
could soon make it much harder to
0:43
document this type of cruelty. The rule
0:45
would allow businesses across the
0:47
economy to apply for drone restrictions
0:49
on their property, including farms,
0:51
ranches, and slaughterhouses. Activists
0:53
and photojournalists I spoke with say
0:55
that this is part of a long-running
0:57
campaign to criminalize documenting
0:59
animal cruelty rather than criminalizing
1:02
animal cruelty itself. For example,
1:04
several states have made it illegal to
1:07
film inside farms and some have banned
1:09
flying drones over farms. In comments to
1:12
the FAA, meat industry groups have made
1:14
it clear that they want this to become
1:17
national policy, arguing that it'll help
1:19
to protect the food supply and prevent
1:21
activists from filming their operations.
1:23
Most Americans will never set foot
1:25
inside a factory farm or slaughterhouse.
1:28
What little we do know about these
1:30
operations has largely come from
1:32
investigators willing to go inside and
1:34
document them or fly a drone. And if
1:37
that work becomes harder to do, it will
1:39
only become more difficult to know just
1:41
where our food comes from. Read the full
1:43
