Missouri has opposite law (Score 1)

The state of Missouri has been commonly known as friendly to the "puppy mill" industry. Puppy mills are places where people breed expensive pets for profit in deplorable, inhumane conditions, or sometimes just overcrowded. They are located in rural areas where outsiders can be kept away. Only the owners and pet store buyers saw these places.

Animal protection activitists would get in posing as buyers to video tape the conditions. Then the activists reported the abuse to the authorities. The puppy mill owners have tried all sorts of legal means to keep the activists out. Longer story short, it is now illegal in Missouri to video record in an animal breeding business without the consent of the owners. So what is the greater good, protect businesses from those who don't agree with their business practices or to protect the right of the public to know and possiblely oppose the business practices?
