New York City Council Bans Foie Gras Setting the Bar for the Rest of the World to Follow!
“Animals rights activists applauded the move by the City Council. PETA is for the foie gras ban, explaining the practice on their website, “the force-feeding causes the birds’ livers to swell to up to 10 times their normal size. Many birds have difficulty standing because their engorged livers distend their abdomens, and they may tear out their own feathers and attack each other out of stress.” The NYC Bar Association emailed its support of the foie gras ban to One Green Planet.”
