Utah resident Amy Meyer was the first person prosecuted under "Ag-Gag" laws for filming animal abuse at a slaughterhouse from a public easement. ALEC's "Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act" provides the framework for these laws, which categorize undercover photography of factory farms as economic terrorism. The FBI has reportedly prioritized these investigations since 2003.

Six U.S. states have passed "Ag-Gag" laws that criminalize the use of clandestine cameras or unauthorized recording at farming operations. These laws are designed to prevent independent groups from exposing animal cruelty or illegal practices that could lead to meat recalls. Critics argue these laws protect the profits of the poultry and meat industries at the expense of public safety and animal welfare.
