Foie Gras

PETA KNOWS HOW TO KILL YOUR APPETITE FOR ANYTHING THAT MOVES

Every once in awhile PETA makes a good point but it’s usually not easy to look at. They set up an anti foie gras protest outside the Houses of Parliament in London. A PETA activist at a dinner table was being “force-fed” her dinner the same way foie gras makers pump grain into the stomachs of terrified geese and ducks to enlarge their livers to produce the expensive delicacy. Banning foie gras is NOT a bad idea…

PAMELA ANDERSON PLEADS WITH FRANCE TO GIVE UP FOIE GRAS

Without a doubt, Pamela Anderson is absolutely RIGHT in her opposition to torturing geese and ducks to make the French delicacy foie gras. We don’t often agree with PETA but we are grateful that Pam appeared before the National Assembly of France (and created quite a stir!) to plead her case. It’s horrifying, but ducks and geese are force fed (with a tube down their throats!) corn to enlarge their livers and produce foie gras. Pam describes foie gras as “a nonessential product unworthy of a civilized society” and we agree. 20 countries have banned the cruel practice and Pam wants France to do the same. At least she got their attention and many young French people agree with her.
