Ducks are force-fed until they can't stand in order to produce
foie gras. Tell New York to ban this cruel food!
Sign Now
Foie gras is a duck liver paté that is highly revered
among foodies for its rich taste and texture. But in order to produce this
delicacy, gruesome horrors are required. Locked in small cages where they
are unable to escape or even move, captive ducks are then restrained while
workers plunge a tube down their throats, which will remain strapped to them
for weeks. Then, farm workers shove up to 30 pounds of food per week through
the tubes, forcing the animals to gorge far more than any duck would
naturally consume.
This force-feeding causes some of the ducks to become so
painfully swollen, they can't even stand up. The practice is so horrifying
that several U.S. states and New York City have already prohibited the sale
of foie gras. But the larger New York state has yet to ban this cruel item
from restaurant menus. In fact, Hudson Valley Foie Gras in New York is the
nation's largest foie gras farm. The company claims they use best practices
and are "concerned" for the animals' welfare but there is no such thing as
"ethical" versions of foie gras. This animal torture must be banned
immediately. Sign the petition and tell New York lawmakers to outlaw foie
gras throughout the whole state!
Thank you for all that you do,

P.S. In order to make foie gras, farmers force-feed ducks
until their livers painfully swell up to 10 times their normal size. Tell
the state of New York to ban this torturous "delicacy," now!
