Foie Gras Off the Menu in Leeds!

Leeds Animal Rights | 03.04.2008 14:39 | Animal Liberation

FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS, FOIE GRAS CAMPAIGNERS HAVE HELD PROTESTS AND LEAFLETING SESSIONS OUTSIDE RESTAURANTS IN LEEDS SERVING FOIE GRAS.

FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS, FOIE GRAS CAMPAIGNERS HAVE HELD PROTESTS AND LEAFLETING SESSIONS OUTSIDE RESTAURANTS IN LEEDS SERVING THE DISH.

These actions have helped highlight the cruelty involved in the production of the 'delicacy' and as a result, over a dozen restaurants and caterers have pulled foie gras from their menus.

Leeds Animal Rights are now happy to announce that the last restaurant in the city, Chino Latino, have now issued a statement and are stopping the sale of the dish.


A big thank-you goes out to everyone who supported our campaign, either by writing a letter or coming on a demonstration, and we call for all contact with Chino Latino and their parent company, Park Plaza Hotels, to cease.


We will be announcing a new campaign soon, but until then please support the Liverpool Animal Rights Group and politely contact their last fur seller, Cricket.

Please remain polite and educational when contacting Cricket, or anyone else named by our group, and we do not encourage anybody to break the law; nor are any of our publications aimed at inciting such acts.

The director of Leeds shopping plaza is Dennis Manning, and he is pretty happy to have stores like Horizon that sell fur.

Land Securities owns the shopping plaza and is also involved in the controversial Trinity centre development.

this restaurant.

Po Lice may well have advised them to lie to anti FG activists as has happened in the recent past.
