Foie gras is a form of
animal
torture. | | |
Foie Gras Is Practically Legal
Again in California. This Means More Animals Will Be
Tortured! | | |
Foie
gras is inherently cruel. It's a food "delicacy" that is
produced by force-feeding ducks and geese until farmers
have painfully and unnaturally engorged the poor
animals' livers. That's why, starting in 2012,
California lawmakers banned the sale of foie gras in the
state. But some are determined to put taste buds and
profits before the wellbeing of animals — and they've
spent 10 years fighting the ban. Now, federal
judges have overturned part of the law.
This will put
countless animals in harm's way — so we need a federal
ban now.
The courts
decided that consumers can now buy foie gras in
California, after all, but only if they buy it from
another state. This practically negates the ban, since
one of the country's major producers of foie
gras is located outside of California, in New
York's Hudson Valley region. In fact, this producer was
one of the main companies suing California over its foie
gras sale ban. So far, luckily only home consumers will
be able to buy the engorged livers of trapped animals,
not restaurants or shops. But foie gras devotees will
continue to fight back, so we need to take nationwide
action now to protect innocent geese and ducks from
horrific misery and pain. Federal lawmakers need
to recognize that animal suffering is never acceptable —
especially if it's just to produce a meal.
