"Corporate greed and politics drive lawmakers to suppress the constitutional rights of animal rights activists. Dara Lovitz offers in-depth analysis of the pertinent legislative history as well as legal cases against these activists. She also highlights the experiential wisdom from activists of multiple generations as they reflect on the direction of today's movement. The United States government and its legislators have spent an inordinate amount of energy, time and money, enacting laws whose sole purpose is to disenfranchise, silence, and weaken the animal rights movement. Corporate greed, fear, and politics drive those who seek to suppress the constitutional rights of animal rights activists. Muzzling a Movement offers an in-depth analysis of the pertinent legislative history as well as various legal cases against these activists, including the heavily publicized SHAC-7 case. This updated version offers a fresh look at 'ag-gag legislation,' which are laws specifically designed to prevent the public from witnessing the horrors that take place behind the opaque walls of animal agriculture. In addition to her exploration of the laws, money, and politics that attempt to silence the animal rights movement, Lovitz highlights wisdom from activists of multiple generations as they reflect on their activism and the activism of their different-aged compatriots. What have newer activists learned from the underground movement of the 1990s? What do the older activists think the younger activists are getting right? And what are they getting wrong? This comprehensive examination of the past, present, and future of animal rights activism seeks to bring us all closer to a cruelty-free world"
