The cattle ranch at the center of the case demands strict drone regulations, saying legal flyovers threatened “food security.”
Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy. They cannot experience empathy for people or animals. This is why they condemn empathy as “wokeness” or “weakness”.
Conservatives delight in the suffering of the vulnerable, including animals. The business described in the article allows conservatives to torture or abuse animals, which is why conservatives love that kind of work. They will do anything they can to protect it, including killing anyone who gets in their way.
Conservatives will never, ever stop abusing or torturing animals on their own. Never. They have created an industry that allows them to profit from something they genuinely, deeply love to do.
TL;DR: The only good conservative is a dead conservative.
“This is disgusting, corporate farms should be able to abuse their animals in private.” Next Fox tagline.
They have been pushing to silence animal rights investigations for decades. Many of the modern techniques used against activists today originated from the crack down on animal rights groups
They have also been long pushing for laws called ag-gag laws to sensor reporting on what goes on inside animal agriculture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ag-gag
They already rail against woke environmentalists and animals rights advocates. They’re already there. These people are evil and always have been.
One commenter was Grimmius Cattle Co. Its chief operating officer Austin Flores complained that an activist group had submitted more than 30 hours of footage of another farm to law enforcement agencies.
“This is the end goal of these surveillance campaigns: to generate enough material to file complaints, trigger investigations, and create regulatory and legal pressure against lawful agricultural operations,” Flores said in a written statement submitted on July 6. “The footage is a tool, and producers have no current airspace protection to prevent it from being gathered.”I fail to see the part where they claim there is any substantive risk to food security. Like, yes, exactly, they are using the footage to trigger investigations. Because you’re doing illegal things. Maybe stop doing the illegal things?
Also if you’re legal, why do you care that drones look for evidence otherwise? There shouldn’t be any.
Unfortunately all farming - including vegetables - involves doing unpleasant things to mammals.
Also if anyone was curious like I was, I believe this was the drone footage in question https://youtu.be/2hxp7j2XJXA
They’re investigating the animal abuser too, right?
Right?
More like gathering a set of barely plausible reasons why someone might not want an unauthorized drone in the airspace above their farm, so that they can push for reform that protects abusers.
who could have seen this coming when the FAA required licensing for drone operation
