Prosecutors have dismissed a class B misdemeanor against animal-welfare activist Amy Meyer, who filmed the Dale T. Smith and Sons Meat Packing Co. slaughterhouse with her cellphone. The case was the first to be prosecuted under Utah's "ag gag" law, which passed the state Legislature in 2012. Under the law, it is illegal to film an agricultural operation while trespassing or entering the premises on false pretenses.
