ban foie gras in new york city

Target:

the ban of foie gras in new york city

Sponsored by:

What is foie gras? Foie Gras is the fatty liver of geese and ducks produced by forcing a metal tube down a ducks throat and force feeding them 30% of their total body weight a day. Many of the geese and ducks die during this 2-3 week ordeal and videos I've watched have proved how scared the geese are when the feeders come around. You can view one of these videos by copy and pasting the following link into your search browser:

Foie Gras has been banned in Chicago, California, Wolf Gang Puck has denounced it and Israel does not even export ducks to France anymore because of their brutal foie gras production. The ducks are constricted in cages where they can not even turn around nor move backwards. Some ducks have even been found buried up to their neck in the ground to restrict their movement even more. You don't have to be active in animal welfare to realize this is insanity and I'm ashamed that foie gras and veal are so widely popular in my hometown of new york city. If you eat these foods just please be aware that these animals were literally tortured to death to produce your meal. And by eating veal and foie gras you are supporting this practice.

"The true measure of a community lies in how it treats the most helpless among us—our children and our animals. To the degree that another living being depends on us for its well being, we are diminished as "human" if we don't in some way "humanely" respond." (Joan Antczak)

How truly revolting. In one's attempt to be "sophisticated" they resort to a sub-animal practice of cruelty.

So called foie gras is the end product of a barbaric practice which is banned in many places already. NYC join the 21st century and condemn cruel and unnecessary treatment of animals for pleasure! Do the right thing. Someone who works with homeless humans in NYC
