Foie Gras, which literally translates to "fatty liver," is made from the engorged livers of ducks and geese. To produce foie gras, ducks and geese are force-fed enormous amounts of grain and fat, which causes their livers to swell to many times the normal size.
When these feeding pipes are jammed into the birds, their throats are often punctured and the birds can suffer from severe tissue damage and internal bleeding.
According to the ASPCA, "The birds' livers become so enlarged…that according to documentation by veterinarians, the animals must experience unspeakable pain and suffering. Birds have literally exploded from these forced feedings. The results of necropsies on dead birds that have been force-fed reveal ruptured livers, throat damage, esophageal trauma, and food spilling from the dead animals' throats and out of their nostrils."
Please sign to urge Norwegian franchise Peppes Pizza to ditch foie gras!
The petition will be handed over to Peppes Pizza as soon as the signature goal has been reached.

Peppes Pizza v/direktør Harald Barfod,
alle disse menneskene fra inn- og utland har signert denne kampanjen for å si ifra hva de synes om at dere valgte å servere foie gras på restaurantene deres.
Selv om dere nå har fjernet den omdiskuterte pizzaen fra menyen, så synes vi allikevel at denne listen hører hjemme hos dere.
