Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
William Potter:
The animal agriculture industry is one of the most powerful industries on the planet. I think most people in this country are aware of the influence of money and industry on politics, and we really see that clearly on display with this industry in particular. Most people would be shocked to learn that animal rights and environmental activists are the number one domestic terrorism threat according to the FBI.
Kip Andersen:
And why is that?
William Potter:
It's a difficult question to answer, why these groups are at the top of the FBI's priorities. I think a big part of it is that they, more than really any other social movements today, are directly threatening corporate profits. You know, when we try to find out how factory farms and how animal agriculture is polluting the environment, they try to claim exemptions to that information, either under national security terms or public safety, uh, trademark issues, business - it's a business secret - we've seen all these attempts to keep people in the dark about what they're actually doing. They're one of the largest industries on the planet with the biggest environmental impact, trying to keep us in the dark about how it's operating.
