Just another reason why you don't mess with Carrie Underwood!!!

A couple of weeks ago we reported how Carrie was pissed about an ag gag bill getting passed by Tennessee lawmakers.

The ag gag bill would've made it basically impossible for animals rights activists to secretly document abuse.

Carrie was so mad back then she said she would show up at Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's house if it was passed!

Well, Bill made sure that didn't happen.

His office has released this statement:

Carrie Underwood is a champion for those who cannot fight for themselves: the animals!

We previously mentioned that a bill had been passed by the Tennessee legislature that would force whistleblowers to release undercover video of animal abuse to the police within 48 hours of capturing it.

The problem is that animal rights activists say that 48 hours isn't enough time to show an ongoing pattern of abuse.

Because the bill was passed, it's now up to Governor Bill Haslam to sign it into law or veto it.

We previously mentioned that there has been a lot going on in the world of politics regarding ag gag bills.

These are laws that would make it illegal to undercover document animal abuse and not turn it over to police within 48 hours.

The problem with the law is that 48 hours doesn't give an undercover whistleblower enough time to gather sufficient evidence to show a pattern of constant abuse.

Well Tennessee lawmakers have recently passed a similar bill and Carrie Underwood is very disappointed!

There was a bill about to be voted on by the Assembly Agriculture Committee that was pulled three hours before voting.

It was a bill that would have limited undercover farm animal abuse investigations!

The bill would have made it so that anyone collecting evidence of abuse would have to turn it in to the cops within 48 hours.

The problem with that is it's not enough time to collect enough evidence to show a pattern of illegal activity, according to animal advocates.

The author of the bill said:

Guess it isn't so fake after all!

Marc Jacobs jackets that are sold at Century 21 actually use dog hair, not the faux fur the company claims to use!

Despite the labels that claim the fur is fake, a independent probe from the Humane Society has found that the jackets material actually consists of the hair of Chinese raccoon dogs.

Here's what a representative of the Humane Society's Fur Free Campaign said:

“Anybody who doesn’t want to buy animal fur should be very angry that a product that they’re trying to avoid is being misrepresented as a product they may want to buy."

A video has been released from the Humane Society where they identify jackets that are labeled to contain "fake fur," but actually consist of the chinese dog hair material.

Ch-ch-check it out by watching it (above) !!!

If you can't do the time - then don't do the crime!

Two former Butterball workers at a North Carolina turkey facility have been convicted of animal cruelty following a 2011 undercover investigation by Mercy For Animals.

They captured graphic footage of workers mistreating the birds which you can see, at your own discretion, (above).

Here's what the statement from the Mercy For Animals said:

"This latest round of criminal convictions against Butterball workers demonstrates that an ongoing pattern of animal cruelty and neglect was allowed to flourish at this inhumane factory farm. As the convictions pile up, it leaves no doubt that turkeys raised and killed by Butterball are routinely crowded into filthy warehouses, neglected to die from infected, bloody wounds, or thrown, kicked, and beaten by factory farm workers."

We're so glad that justice is finally being served.

Animal cruelty should not and will not be tolerated!

The police, nor the FBI, have been able to solve this 70 year murder mystery….no human has….

But now, it might be up to a dog named Buster to finally crack the case!
