Cafe Vermillionville in Lafayette, Louisiana, sells foie gras on their menu. For those not in the know, to produce "foie gras" (the French term means "fatty liver"), workers ram pipes down the throats of male ducks twice each day, pumping up to 2.2 pounds of grain and fat into their stomachs, or geese three times a day, up to 4 pounds daily, in a process known as "gavage." The force-feeding causes the birds' livers to swell to up to 10 times their normal size. Many birds have difficulty standing because their engorged livers distend their abdomens, and they may tear out their own feathers and attack each other out of stress. And this is a food delicacy? No, it's outright ANIMAL CRUELTY!
