In New York Decided to Ban Foie Gras
Foie gras is made from duck or goose liver. In order to cook a delicacy, birds are force-fed (most often using special funnels or tubes through which food is poured into their throats) and deprived of their freedom of movement. As a result, the liver increases several times. “This is one of the most brutal practices, and it’s done for a product that is exclusively luxury”, said Carlin Rivera, a member of the New York City Council Second District Council, who supported the bill.
“As a lifelong advocate for animal rights, I’m glad that the council voted to adopt this historic law prohibiting the sale of these specific animal products with forced feeding”, she added. According to the American media, poultry owners opposed the bill.
