where science and ethics intersect with politics
UnchainedTV’s call for mandatory cameras inside slaughterhouses has reignited a national debate on transparency, ethics, and power. While mainstream “humane” groups stay silent, the Humane Party argues that true oversight isn’t reform — it’s revelation.
In a split decision on Idaho’s 2012 “ag-gag” law, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on January 4, 2018 that audio and visual recordings in animal agricultural facilities could not be prohibited by the state, upholding an earlier ruling that invalidated the Idaho law for violating free speech. The January 4th ruling is a partial victory for animal activists.
