ag-gag-abby-martin-will-potterI had the pleasure of being a guest on Abby Martin‘s show, Breaking the Set, last night. We talked about “ag-gag” bills that are being introduced around the country in an attempt to censor whistleblowers, investigators, and journalists who expose animal welfare abuses on factory farms.

“This is an industry that wants to operate in total secrecy, and with total immunity. There’s virtually no oversight of factory farming and big agriculture in this country. There are no animal welfare laws that protect these animals during their lives. The only meaningful check and balance on this system are undercover investigators.”

Watch the full interview below. Thanks again to Abby for having me back on the show. If you haven’t checked out Breaking the Set, please subscribe to their YouTube channel or check your local TV listings.
