>> Now comes the GOP with the "ag-gag" laws

What states are you referring to? Most of these laws that were introduced in the 1990's have all been deemed unconstitutional in the states where they were passed. Not to mention, any other states that have attempted to pass these laws have failed.

I'm sure you enjoy demonizing the GOP, but I don't see much merit in your argument if there are no states where these laws are currently in effect and nobody has been successfully convicted of violating these laws.

According to that link, the laws are mostly recent, passed in the 2010s rather than 1990s, e.g. 2014 for Idaho's and 2012 for Missouri's. And I don't see anywhere there that they've all been struck down. Only one is mentioned as having been struck down, Idaho's, and from what I can find that's still being litigated, currently being heard by an appeals court [1].
