On Monday, country music star and animal activist Carrie Underwood went into a tweet rage over the "ag gag" Tennessee bill that requires anyone with undercover footage of a farm or livestock operation to submit unedited footage to the law within 24 hours.

The Thursday before, Underwood took the fight to Tennessee lawmakers for the "ag gag" bill currently headed to Governor Bill Gaslam's hand for signing into law. Underwood decided to take to her Twitter account to express her anger about the polarizing bill.

On Thursday, she tweeted:

Shame on TN lawmakers for passing the Ag Gag bill. If Gov. Bill Haslam signs this, he needs to expect me at his front door. Who's with me?

Fellow animal activists supported Underwood's tweets in an attempt to block the harmful legislation. According to the BC Democrat Online, the bill criminalizes whistle blowing in an attempt to undercover atrocities for alleged animal abuse.

However, the time frame given is not unique to the state. Republican Tennessee Representaive Andy Holt pointed out to the Knox News that requiring animal abuse footage to be turned over to authorities within 24 hours is the same as the current law requiring reporting of child abuse to authorities.

In collaboration with the Center for Food Integrity (CFI), pork and dairy industry spokespeople recently launched the "See it? Stop It!" initiative to encourage their employees and others to report animal abuse immediately to the authorities.

Roxi Beck, a CFI representative released a press release saying:

"Those in agriculture are understandably frustrated by undercover videos. The actions of a few captured on video can taint public perception of the entire livestock community. Taking action to stop abuse demonstrates a genuine commitment to do what's right for the animals on farms."

Despite the emphasis on exposing corruption, which the law hopes to entail, instead it's rallied pro-animal supporters against the cause.
