Vegetarian Star

Bob Barker has long been a champion for pets across the country, urging his Price is Right fans to “spay and neuter” at the end of each game show.

Now he’s extending his concern for farm animals as well, urging Wyoming lawmakers to block block “ag-gag” House Bill (H.B.) 126, which would ban undercover cameras on factory farms

Undercover footage obtained through investigation has led to numerous charges and convictions for those that have violated animal welfare laws.

Blocking access to farms would hinder law officials from continuing to uphold animal cruelty laws.

“As a lifelong Republican who feels that authorities should have access to everything that they need to enforce the law, I’m writing in the hope that you will reject House Bill (H.B.) 126, which threatens to shroud illegal abuses in factory farms and slaughterhouses in secrecy by keeping cameras out of these facilities,” Barker wrote to Wyoming Senators in a letter on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

“Video footage from undercover investigations, which are often prompted by whistleblowers who work on factory farms or in slaughterhouses, has helped law-enforcement officials across the country, including in Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia, prosecute cases of animal abuse. Will you protect our right to collect this evidence by opposing H.B. 126?”
