Why do so many legislators who worry about the Second Amendment seem quite willing to ignore the First? Pennsylvania Senator Mike Brubaker (R-Lancaster) has introduced a bill that would make “unauthorized” videotaping of animals illegal. In the past such videotapes have documented the mistreatment of livestock and led to prosecutions.
According to an article by Karen Langley, published in today’s Morning Call (May 4, p. 10), a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau said that trespassers who videotape cruelty or mistreatment could spread disease to farm animals. So the purpose of the bill, evidently, is to protect farm animals. Good to know.
The right loves to preach about the constitution, however they are very selective about what parts they want to adhere to. Too bad that senator Brubaker is more concerned about corporations making money and not about the people he represents. Typical of the right. Greed is good should be the G.O.P.'s motto. They will never change!
