Although Minnesota's version of the ag-gag bill was certainly too far reaching and rightfully shut down (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbill.php?bill=S1118.0.html...), I'm behind the core concept that guerrilla-style undercover videos belongs on the farm as much as it does in our offices. The biggest danger is confusing the "taping" discussed in this article with actual journalism - and in-depth analysis of the legislation definitively shows that these ag companies will grudgingly allow legitimate reporting of their facilities, but have a right to persecute unethical practices.
* Don't confuse the Humane Society of the United States with your local humane society. For example, their CEO is against the ownership of pets. More details are at http://www.humanewatch.org/, but take that with the same scepticism you would any documentary or online video:-)
