The Act was one in a long line of “Ag-Gag” laws that have been proposed across the United States in recent years. This ruling follows nearly five years of litigation instigated by a coalition of public interest groups: PETA, ALDF, Center for Food Safety, Food & Water Watch, Government Accountability Project, ASPCA, Farm Forward, and Farm Sanctuary who challenged the Act for its clear violation of the most fundamental of citizens' First Amendment rights.
