Photographer Jailed for Taking Pictures of Feedlot
A National Geographic photographer has been arrested for taking aerial pictures of a cattle feedlot in Kansas. George Steinmetz had parked his vehicle on the feedlot and was paragliding over it taking pictures when authorities were alerted. National Geographic is standing by Steinmetz, and is asking authorities and the feedlot owner to drop the charges.

Ag-gag laws are making increasingly difficult to expose the exploitation of God’s farmed animals. The owner of the feedlot would not have possibly given permission to the photographer to take pictures of his feedlot; therefore, Steinmetz did what he felt was necessary to document what was taking place in the feedlot. Let’s hope that the public demands that factory farms and slaughterhouses become transparent to the public. If this happened, most people would choose not to support such hellish places.Your question and comments are welcome
