ARLINGTON, Va. — Animal Agriculture Alliance's President and CEO Kay Johnson Smith will be featured in a new National Geographic Channel series, "Inside: Secret America." Johnson Smith will appear in a segment captioned, "Animal Undercover," on July 31.
The Alliance said it was approached in late February by series producers and investigative journalists Mariana van Zeller and Darren Foster about a segment focusing on the animal rights movement, undercover videos and farm protection, or so-termed "ag gag," legislation. The producers indicated they were initially drawn to this topic because of the deceptive and sometimes extreme tactics employed by activist. . .
