Not that this is any news, but since i just saw a report on TV about the foie gras “production” in Europe, i am so fueled by anger at the moment that i can’t find words for it. For anyone who supports this animal torture of the worst kind, I have nothing but disgust. Female baby geese ground up on the day of their death, male ones force fed 3 pounds a day for 2 weeks, which causes them not only injuries of the asophogus, but also makes them unable to stand up, due to the weight of their degenerating livers.
Furthermore they almost suffocate alive, since these livers use up the room that the lungs would need. The transport to the butcher many dont survive, the electrocution many survive, who then get their jugulars cut alive.
Industrialized world: shame on you! EU: shame on you! While the production is still legal in France and Hungary, the import is legal all over Europe due to the free trade agreements. Well, well - guess what? Fuck you. Putting profit before protection of the voiceless and weak is absolutely stupid and decadent. It’s always the same game: with child labor, with slavery, with exploitation of the weak and the ones who can’t help themselves. And once again, foie gras buyers: fuck you the most.
