Ag-gag laws (agricultural gag) are anti-whistleblower laws that apply within the animal agriculture industry. Popularized by Mark Bittman in an April 2011 The New York Times column (but used long before then by advocates), the term ag-gag typically refers to state laws in the United States of America that forbid undercover filming or photography of activity on farms without the consent of their owner—particularly targeting whistleblowers of suspected animal abuse at these facilities. Although these laws originated in the United States, they have also begun to appear elsewhere, such as in Australia and Canada.
