Act now: Senate considering criminalizing publication of basic cow information
Today the Society of Professional Journalists urged journalists and citizens to let their U.S. senators know about the ramifications of a provision in the Senate version of the farm bill that would criminalize dissemination and publication of basic cow directory information, including the number and breed of cows, and the address of the farm. The Senate is now considering the bill, so contact your senator now. For more information, see the SPJ press release.
