FOIE GRAS DEMOS BIRMINGHAM

Postby maz on Thu Mar 06, 2008 10:52 pm

Foie gras - French for fatty liver is produced by forcing metal pipes down the throats of ducks and geese and force-feeding them until their livers become diseased and unnaturally enlarged. Their liver is 10 times the natural size of an average duck or goose.Foie gras is banned from being produced in the UK, but many shops and restaurants import and sell it including Simpsons restaurant in Birmingham.


Please take the time to write and make phone calls complaining about this cruel delicacy and ask them politely to remove it from their menu

Thanks for the info maz. Bad enough that geese and ducks are killed for food but force feeding them to produce Foie Gras is torture before the act.
A similar campaign at Cambridge restaurant did the trick, so I hope your campaign in Birmingham is successful too. I've e-mailed them complaining, the least I can do and its the least that all the other members on this site can do as well. Come on peeps !

Will circulate this around the Vegan Society as well.
