Great work Leighton, thank you.

I'm the investigator named in this story, who led the collaboration with Mr. Walker to expose and ultimately end this atrocity, and now face a felony and "ag-gag" prosecution, and FBI investigation, as a result.

Animal ag is perhaps the most devastating invention in human history, and this situation lays bare the depravity of this system for the world to see. Exposing the most egregious animal torture imaginable has resulted in all manner of repression against those who speak up, while it's the powerful entities inflicting the abuse that call the shots.

Please support our work by spreading the word about DxE's Whistleblower Helpline program, where industry workers (or anybody at all) can anonymously submit information about abuses to workers, animals and the environment, which we will consider for further investigation and publication via press and social media.

An excellent, well-researched report, and unfortunately the analogy with the PATRIOT act is less a prediction and more a statement that night follows day. Unfortunately, both the left *and* the right mainstreams are enamored of these laws. And the bodies that traditionally prized liberties, such as the ACLU, are now largely focused on other things.

The free speech, free journalism current in the West is as small as it's been in my time on this earth, and it's shrinking fast. Dark days are ahead and I'm not sure what can be done.

Articles like this, at least, give us a fighting chance of knowing what we're up against.
