We, the undersigned, are very concerned with the practices of Chef, and restaurant owner, Peter Schitler. We are asking him to remove foie gras from his menu, and to stop promoting torture and animal cruelty.
Dear Chef Peter Schintler,We the undersigned are asking for the removal of foie gras from your menu.  We are appalled that you would support the torture of animals, and the disgusting methods in which foie gras is manufactured. The production of foie gras is illegal in over 13 countries, and our current Pope has even spoken out against these practices.In a recent article with The Insider (Edition IV), you were asked what you would like to "86 from the world", and you stated "Environmentally and agriculturally irresponsible people" and mention "...think of our children's futures". Is the production of foie gras your idea of agriculturally responsible? Are you aware of the over 900 violations of the Clean Water Act that Hudson Valley Foie Gras has racked up in the last five years alone? Are you aware of the $30,000 in fines Hudson Valley Foie Gras is facing due to their environmentally repulsive behavior? Is that  what you are supporting for your children's future? We are asking your public image and your real actions to come together as one and to BAN FOIE GRAS!The Puerto Rican people are a good people who, if knowing of your actions, would not want the reputation of torturers. Since your The Insider article omitted that you serve foie gras, I am assuming you already know this.  We are asking you to please reconsider your menu, REMOVE FOIE GRAS, and possibly add something that really IS environmentally and agriculturally responsible.Thank you.

This is a despicable practise and must be ordered off any menu immediatley. The prolonged torture of these beautiful animals is vile, not delectable. There are plenty of other gourmet foods around to have on a menu.

Foie gras is disgusting and cruel. Please stop serving it...if for no other reason, stop serving it because you'll probably lose business from a lot of concerned activists if you don't.

This is deplorable and should be stopped immediately. I can not see how any human being could do such atrocious things to an animal. Please I beg you, stop this senseless abuse, I am a vegitarian and so I am honestly against eating these animals in the first place, however, please at least them have some quality of life before you butcher them.

Well, the question is obvious, I've seen the obscure and horrible footage of how ducks and geese are kept and treated for the 'foie gras'. I'm shocked and sickend. In our generation we should be human enough to want to try and stop this from happening. Please don't support this and stop serving the foie gras.

Foie gras d'oie ou de canard : IL FAUT INTERDIRE CETTE PRATIQUE. IL FAUT BOYCOTTER CE PRODUIT. En tant que citoyenne française, je suis révoltée contre cette "tradition culinaire française" HONTE A LA FRANCE

Foie Gras is a brutal murder of beautiful ducks and should not be served to customers who do not know the truth about this.

There is nothing elite or sophisticated about force feeding a bird to feed on it's liver.
