foie gras - what is it? what nyc restaurants serve it? and why it should be banned!
Foie Gras is the fatty liver of geese and ducks produced by forcing a metal tube down their throat and force feeding them while they are already bloated. You can view the following video that details the horrific process used to create foie gras.
Those who are able to live through the 2-3 week torture await a painfull slaughter. It has been banned in Chicago, California, Wolf Gang Puck has denounced it and Israel does not even export ducks to France anymore because of their brutal foie gras production. The ducks are constricted in cages where they can not even turn around nor move backwards. Some ducks have even been found buried up to their neck in the ground to restrict their movement even more. You don't have to be active in animal welfare to realize this is insanity and I'm ashamed that foie gras and veal are so widely popular in my hometown of new york city. If you eat these foods just please be aware that these animals were literally tortured to death to produce your meal. And by eating veal and foie gras you are supporting this practice.

I've always heard the term foie gras but never knew exactly what it was and glad I do now, really terrible...
Yeah, why don't you hear more about this? And I'm starting to learn, through your blog, that New York City is not as animal friendly as one might think. With a huge demand for fur, foie gras and veal there's a lot of work to do on getting information out.
Great post and thanks for the info!
What a strange idea to begin with and you almost wonder, what sick thing will they think of next? Less we stop them in their tracks by having no demand for it.
This is such a disgusting and disheartening process. I'm so glad that it is being exposed more and more. Hopefully the people who really need to hear about it will start paying attention and changing their ways! Thank you for airing this inhumane practice.
This is not one of those animal rights topics that is up for discussion. It just needs to stop.
Nice to see this is getting banned in more places and Arizona recently outlawed gestation crates. Hope New York City is NEXT!
