How to Take on The Government (and Win) - Kecia Doolittle and Matt Johnson

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 8, 2022

What happens when the full power of the state comes after you, for exposing nightmarish abuse at factory farms? If you're Kecia Doolittle or Matt Johnson, you fight back – and you win. Kecia is a founder of Project Counterglow, a grassroots initiative to create a nationwide map of factory farms. Matt Johnson is a core organizer for the animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), and lead investigator in an effort to expose the brutal extermination procedures used by pig farms at the height of COVID-19. Both Kecia and Matt's work was discussed in the Iowa legislature when it passed a so-called “Ag Gag” law that targeted animal rights activists for, among other things, posting videos about abuses unfolding in factory farms. And both Kecia and Matt were also later charged with serious crimes for that work. But they fought back, and they won. This conversation will give you the story behind the story. That includes the bizarre excuses given by Iowa law enforcement for their failure to even investigate credible reports of extreme animal cruelty, including roasting animals alive. The strange motions filed by the government – including their effort to paint the image of a smiling single mother as a terrorist threat – in the days before trial. And the exhilarating moment when, after being persecuted by his own government for nearly 2 years, Matt realized that all charges would be dropped literally one day before trial. There are lessons here for anyone who's facing unfair persecution, whether by the government or otherwise. Maybe the most important one is this: understand that your sacrifice has a purpose. But this conversation is also interesting to me because of the personal side of things. You see, Matt and Kecia were not just an activist team when they investigated Iowa pig farming from 2019-2020. They were dating, too. And what you see in this conversation is the complexity of working together with people who are not just part of a movement, but part of a real, human community. That includes all the complexity and messiness and beauty that human communities and relationships will inevitably have. The fact that their friendship remains so strong, years later and even in the face of criminal prosecution, has lessons for us all.

How We Can Improve the Lives of Farm Animals

Right now, more than 70 billion animals are farmed for food each year – two-thirds in conditions that mean they can't move freely or live naturally. Unfortunately, this includes animals like chickens, pigs and cows that are commonly farmed in both Canada and the United States. It's an unfortunate reality that the world isn't going to stop eating animal products overnight. With that in mind, in this week's PlantPod episode, we delve into how we can lobby the government and industry to improve the lives of farm animals at every stage from farming to transportation to slaughter. For this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lynn Kavanagh who is the Farming Campaign Manager for World Animal Protection Canada. Here are some of the questions we delved into: What does factory farming look like in Canada? How can we help improve the lives of farm animals? What legislation does the government have in place to help improve the lives of these animals? Are farmers and industry open to change? What are Ag-Gag laws? Which animals are treated the worst? What are some of the health implications of this unfair treatment to animals? Lynn has been leading animal advocacy campaigns for many years. She is currently the Canadian Farming Campaign Manager for World Animal Protection, an international animal welfare charity with offices in 14 countries. She oversees the organization's farm animal welfare and food systems campaigns to change government legislation, corporate policies, and people's behaviour to improve protection for animals. She received an MSc degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.

At the behest of lobby groups for agribusiness, the Ontario government has passed Bill 156, The Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act. The bill erodes the rights of investigative journalists and whistleblowers, who have been paramount in exposing animal and worker abuse rights and brings an even greater cloak of secrecy around this exploitative industry.Read the article in full.

In Episode 88 I sit down with Seb Alex to talk about the importance of animal welfare and what life looks like through the lens of an Animal Activist. Specifically we cover: Normalising veganism The impossible burger: Does he eat it and what does he think about their practices? Things to consider when supporting large chains like Hungry Jacks who have added vegan burgers onto their menu What is a vegan? What is a sentient being? Different levels of sentience Are oysters sentient beings? What is speciesism? Growing up in Lebanon and his transition to a vegetarian diet and then ultimately a vegan diet Is veganism extreme? Developing the courage to be an activist The notion of 'humane' slaughter - does it exist? Ag-Gag laws protecting the animal agriculture industry and much much more I completely understand this episode and the topic of animal welfare is often a little uncomfortable (I totally get it) and perhaps you have a stereotypical view of an animal activist being angry, weird and violent. I know I used to. Today's guest, Animal Activist Seb Alex, is anything but that and I urge all of you, vegan or not, to listen to this conversation with an open mind. Even if you're not interested in veganism it's interesting to listen to what people from different walks of lives have to say…how they see the world. 10 years ago if I came across this podcast - I would probably keep scrolling. In fact I definitely would of. I often think about my early University days and why I never stopped to think about eating animal products. I grew up loving dogs and farm animals…but I never once fully appreciated the connection between my food plate with an animals life and how my consumption affected their happiness. The odd thing is I look back on myself a decade ago and I see the same person…the values and beliefs were there but I was closed. I was not in a place to allow new ideas to challenge the way I had been programmed. Now that I understand the power of opening your mind I have discussions with people all the time who see things differently to me not just about nutrition but all things in life. I can escape the echo chamber that we so often comfortably find ourselves in. A place where there is the natural tendency to only surround yourself with people who share your thoughts. I always walk away from these conversations. Happy that they give me the opportunity to challenge my beliefs and think a little deeper. Happy they gave me an opportunity to learn something new. It's these types of conversations that allow our minds to expand. You may find todays message resonates with you. You may find it takes you to places in your mind that you have never visited. You may find it doesn't. The point is, you will be better informed with regards to how an animal activist sees the world, you will better understand their perspective and then with that you can do what you want!

Ingrid Newkirk, founder of PETA, is a force of nature! "Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way," is the long-time declaration of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. With 485 employees and over 6.5 million supporters, PETA is the largest and most far-reaching of animal rights organizations. PETA has been instrumental in exposing the cruelty and horror in factory farms, animal experimentation, the fur and fashion industry, circuses, the travel industry, cock fighting, dog fighting, bull fighting, Ag-Gag laws and so much more. PETA also has a formidable vegan outreach program with veg starter kits and has expanded animal welfare concerns beyond the United States to India and Asia. Not to mention, PETA has been creative in putting out tongue-in-cheek, as well as serious, advertising campaigns in front of the public eye. Celebrities from Alec Baldwin to Joaquin Phoenix to super model Joanna Krupa, just to name a few, have lent their image and words to support PETA’s campaigns. Now, sitting in my kitchen, founder of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, discusses with candor and youthful energy the many projects that PETA is working on to benefit animals (and the planet and people). Ultimately, PETA’s intent is to make the world a kinder place by encouraging human compassion to sentient animals that can feel pain and share with us a range of emotions. I support this, of course, and have always been a fan of PETA even if I don’t agree with absolutely everything they have ever done. I support PETA because far and away, they move the needle for animals more than any other organization. Ingrid's book Animalkind: Remarkable Discoveress About Animals and Revolutionary New Ways to Show them Compassion is out now on pre-order on Amazon. That said, PETA is no stranger to controversy. PETA did not support Prop 12 in California and has defended its euthanasia program to put down dogs that can’t be adopted out.

We're driving cross-country and see the signs of animal cruelty all around us on the interstate. Feedlots. Livestock trucks. Poultry sheds. Ag-gag laws only assure that you won't realize the cruelty that goes into producing your food. That's why PETA is fighting ag-gag laws so vigorously. Jeff Kerr, PETA Sr. VP and chief attorney of the PETA Foundation talked to the podcast earlier this year about a victory in Iowa that declared Ag-Gag laws unconstitutional. A court recently ruled that the state could not silence PETA investigators from publishing and speaking out about cruel practices uncovered in Iowa. The state's ag-gag law was ruled a violation of free speech rights and unconstitutional. PETA hopes this will lead the way to end ag-gag laws and proposals in nearly two dozen states. Ag businesses don't want you to know what happens behind the scenes at factory farms in the processing of your food. Since the federal government does not regulate what happens to animals at the farms, the watch dog role has been left to the states. But the ag lobby has fought hard to hide cruel ag practices by passing these ag gag laws throughout the nation.

As much of an animal advocate as I am, when it comes down to the most important thing for animals, it isn’t the rescues. It is to get the laws changed for animal protection. This is why today’s guest, lawyer and Executive Director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Stephen Wells, is such an incredible human being and an incredible hero. Stephen talks about overturned Ag-Gag laws and what it means for farmed animals who are currently locked behind closed factory doors. He speaks of the fact that in many states it is legal to do certain things to farmed animals that would not be legal to do to your pet. In fact, we discuss how, in 42 of the 50 states, factories are exempt from animal cruelty laws. Stephen is on an incredible journey of helping animals gain justice. In one circumstance a horse named Justice is actually in the process of a lawsuit against the owner. Another instance was in New York a dog named Bella was beaten to death and there is a bill coming soon named after that dog that addresses animal cruelty laws. Things are changing and much of it is due to the Animal Legal Defense Fund and their growing number of lawyers, university chapters, and funding. To learn more about ALDF, visit https://aldf.org.

Do the giant agricultural companies and cattle ranchers have the right to be protected against those who shed light on their business practices and their impact on the environment? Or does the First Amendment have something to say about that? Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by David Muraskin from the non-profit organization, Public Justice, to talk about Ag-Gag laws. Aaron and David discuss the ins and outs of Ag-Gag laws as well as David’s ground-breaking case in Wyoming. Like other gag laws, Ag-Gag laws are specifically designed to protect the agriculture industry by making it difficult for people to speak out against industrial practices and conditions that impact animal welfare and the environment. David explains some of the history behind these laws in addition to some of the major cases. In Public Justice’s Wyoming case, David was successful in invoking the First Amendment as a way of challenging these highly restrictive and protectionist state laws.

ALDF v. Wasden: The Ninth Circuit and Idaho’s “Ag-Gag” Law

Early this year, a Ninth Circuit panel issued a split decision in an Idaho case that pits interests protected by the First Amendment against property rights and privacy interests. More specifically, as the panel majority noted, the appeal “highlights the tension between journalists’ claimed First Amendment right to engage in undercover investigations and the state’s effort to protect privacy and property rights in the agricultural industry.” In ALDF v. Wasden, 878 F.3d 1184 (9th Cir. Jan. 4, 2018), the panel considered constitutional objections to a new Idaho statute that makes it a crime to engage in “interference with agricultural production.” A number of states with substantial agribusiness operations have enacted or considered enacting similar statutes, which some opponents call “ag-gag” laws. The Idaho law was passed in 2014, after an animal rights group posted a “disturbing,” “secretly-filmed exposé of the operation of an Idaho dairy farm” on the Internet. Animal rights organizations filed suit in federal district court, challenging several provisions of the statute. After the court granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs, the Idaho attorney general appealed. As relevant here, the Idaho statute defines the crime of “interference with agricultural production” to include (and thus to prohibit) four categories of knowing conduct: (1) knowingly making misrepresentations to enter an “agricultural production facility”;(2) knowingly making misrepresentations to obtain records of an agricultural production facility;(3) knowingly making misrepresentations to obtain employment with an agricultural production facility, coupled with the intent to cause economic or other injury to the owners, the facility, and other persons and things; and(4) knowingly entering an agricultural production facility that is not open to the public and making audio or video recordings of the facility’s operations without the owner’s consent and without any judicial or statutory authorization. The panel unanimously upheld the second and third prohibitions, and unanimously struck down the fourth prohibition. But the panel divided 2-1 over whether the first prohibition (on knowingly making a misrepresentation to enter an agricultural production facility) is constitutional. The majority (Judge M. Margaret McKeown, joined by Judge Richard C. Tallman) held that the prohibition violates the First Amendment. Judge Carlos T. Bea, who dissented in part and concurred in part, would have upheld the prohibition. Among other things, he disagreed with the majority’s reading of United States v. Alvarez, 567 U.S 709 (2012), an important recent case in which the Supreme Court struck down the federal Stolen Valor Act, which criminalized false claims about the receipt of military decorations or medals. Professor Eugene Volokh will discuss and evaluate the separate opinions in the case and their analyses of the statutory provisions at issue, noting possible implications for litigators as well as for legislators who may be considering similar legislative proposals.

"Ag gag" statutes have been in the news lately as several Constitutional challenges have been filed against this type of statute. Only a handful of states have passed this type of legislation, which seeks to prohibit trespassing on or providing false information to obtain employment at an agricultural operation. Federal trial level courts in Idaho and Utah have found their respective state's "ag gag" statutes unconstitutional. Additionally, a Wyoming federal court recently held that the First Amendment applied to a state statute there prohibiting trespassing on private property to collect resource data. On today's episode, Ashley and I discuss these statutes, the background upon which they arose, and the recent litigation decisions in these court cases.
