Documents reveal that the Animal Agriculture Alliance (AAA) coordinated with the FBI for nearly a decade to gather intelligence against animal rights organizations. They employed corporate spies to infiltrate and monitor groups like Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), aiming to position activists as national security threats. This secrecy spurred efforts to discredit movements advocating for animal rights, impacting public perception and potential investigations into their activities. The AAA's tactics involved leveraging intelligence to shield agriculture from criticism and frame protests as bioterrorism.
The AAA orchestrated a covert campaign over years to discredit and surveil animal rights activists, collaborating with the FBI to frame them as a terrorism threat.
Undercover spies were deployed by the AAA at activist meetings, collecting strategic material potentially used to shield the agricultural industry from scrutiny.
