About Me |

Foie gras (translated literally from French as "fatty liver" and pronounced 'fwah grah') is produced by cruel and inhumane farming practices. At just a few months old, ducks are confined inside dark sheds and force-fed enormous amounts of food several times a day. A farm worker grabs each duck and, one by one, thrusts a metal pipe down their throats so that a mixture of corn can be forced directly into their gullets. In just a matter of weeks, the ducks become grossly overweight and their livers expand up to 10 times their normal size. As a result, ducks raised for foie gras have difficulty standing, walking, and even breathing. Many of them die before the end of the force-feeding cycle, and the mortality rate for ducks raised on foie gras farms is among the highest in the farming industry. Necropsies performed on foie gras ducks have shown extreme obesity, impaction of undigested food in the esophagus, lacerations in the throat, and a proliferation of bacterial and fungal growth in their upper digestive tracts. Scientific research on foie gras ducks has shown, among other things, that "because normal liver function is seriously impaired in birds with the hypertrophied liver which occurs at the end of force feeding, the level of steatosis should be considered pathological" and that "it is clear that steatosis and other effects of force feeding are lethal when the procedures are continued." -http://www.nofoiegras.org/ Get this video and more at MySpace.com Get this video and more at MySpace.com Click to support other good causes for free |

WE ARE LOOKING TO STOP THE SALE/PRODUCTION OF FOIE GRAS IN THE US. The largest producer of foie gras in North America is Hudson Valley Foie Gras. HELP US BRING THEM DOWN! Please let them know we do not want their cruelty & they are an embarrassment to the state of NY and our country. HUDSON VALLEY FOIE GRAS Hudson Valley Foie Gras 80 Brooks Road Ferndale, NY 12734 Phone: 845-292-2500 Fax: 845-292-3009 EMAIL NOWinfo@hudsonvalleyfoiegras.com According to PETA: The birds have up to 2 pounds of food per day pumped into their stomachs through long metal pipes that are shoved down their throats. The cruel ordeal often causes severe injuries that make it painful or even impossible for birds to drink. Those who survive the feedings suffer from a painful illness that causes their livers to swell to eight to 10 times their normal size. Many birds become too sick to walk and are reduced to pushing themselves across their cages with their wings. When the birds are slaughtered, their livers are sold for foie gras. |

Music:www.stopforcefeeding.comEarlier this year, the Chicago City Council banned the sale of foie gras, which didn't have an economic impact on the city at all. Any decision to ban the sale or production of foie gras by Albany, however, could impact New York State's economy as New York is the largest producer of foie gras in North America. In fact, the state announced an Economic Development Fund grant of $420,000 to Hudson Valley Foie Gras. - GOTHAMIST.COM |

Television:StopForceFeeding.Com"Of all the creatures, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot." -Mark Twain |
