Foie-gras forced off the menu at another Bath restaurant

Bath Activist Network | 25.10.2008 10:45 | Animal Liberation

'Minibar', on John Street, Bath has become the latest in a long string of Bath establishments to choose to remove foie gras from the menu after drawing attention from the local activist community.

After only the second demo at Minibar, the owner decided to remove the 'delicacy'.
the demo involved 14 activists, many of whom sported halloween facemasks and costumes and attracted widespread support from passers by and disgusted potential customers. We also broght along a jolly roger on a huge banner pole to inform diners in the first floor resteraunt why we were there. At 9 o clock, we reached an amicable agreement with the owner, and decided to focus our attention on another restaurant, Pinch (formerly 'Le Petit Cochon'). This place removed foie gras from the menu after a long and protracted fight, and the owner, Christophe LeCroix has a history of violently and sexually assaulting protestors and has recently put foie gras back on the menu. At 9.10, he was met with a short, but angry demo. He responded by cowering in his kitchen and sending a waitress to lock the doors and pull the blinds down. We left the letterbox and outside seating area littered with reminders of why we were there before leaving. We will be back time and time again until he gets the message.
All in all, a very sucessful night!

We really need help with this place, so any contact people could make with them to express their disgust at the continued sale of foie gras, and Christophes' treatment of activists can be made to -
