Vladimir,
Foie gras is
considered a delicacy to some, but to most it's considered an
abomination. That's because the way to make the dish is to
horribly abuse ducks and geese in order to get their livers
super fatty. The grotesquely enlarged liver is sold whole or
made into a pate. The dish and practice have been outlawed in
many places due to the inhumane nature of force feeding
animals, including in California — which is what makes the
fact that this state still allows the importation of
foie gras so bizarre. It seems that as long as the cruelty
happens beyond California's borders, lawmakers are fine with
it. Sign now to tell California to ACTUALLY ban this
disgusting practice!
The poor ducks and geese who
become foie gras suffer endlessly for it. They are kept in
unsanitary and cramped cages. They are then force fed through
metal tubes jammed down their throats twice a day in order to
make their livers grow to 10 times their normal size. Many of
them die along the way. Additionally, the dish can only be
made from male ducks, so all the female ducklings that
are of no use to this cruel industry are literally tossed into
a grinder, their tiny bodies getting ripped apart in
seconds.
There are no two ways about:
foie gras is horrifying and California pretended to care about
it, only to allow for import of the inhumanely acquired
"dish." Please sign the petition telling California to
close this loophole and outlaw both foie gras production AND
purchasing within the state!
Thank you,

P.S. There is
no ethical way to consume foie gras. Sign to demand California actually bans
it. |
