Demo Against Foie Gras - Healds Hall Hotel - Friday 25th

West Yorkshire Animal Rights Group (WYARG) | 21.06.2010 13:20 | Animal Liberation

STOP THE FOIE GRAS INDUSTRY!

HEALDS HALL HOTEL - ANIMAL ABUSERS
The Healds Hall Hotel are selling foie gras in their restaurant and don't claim it is not cruel to produce such a product.

PLEASE BRING
Megaphones, banners, placards and your voices.

NOT CRUEL? >>>  http://crueltyoffthemenu.wordpress.com/foie-gras-cruelty/
It’s no wonder foie-gras has been dubbed ‘torture in a tin’. Ducks and geese are being driven from the ponds and into intensive farms in their millions, where they are routinely abused in the name of ‘fine dining’.

Every year in France, 30 million ducks are forced into cages so small they can’t even stretch their wings. Trapped and helpless, a metal tube is thrust down their throats and vast quantities of food are forcibly pumped into their stomachs so that their livers swell painfully to up to 10 times their natural size. There is no escape and no respite.It has been documented that many of these birds as a result of a ruptured throat due to the force used in this process.

The suffering of these birds is so extreme it would be illegal in this country. However, free trade laws mean that every year we import tonnes of these diseased livers, marketed as an expensive delicacy. Britain is a driving force behind this cruel industry.

For the millions of little female ducklings born in France another horror awaits. They are tossed alive into electric mincers at just a few days old to suffer a violent and horrific death – their only crime is they don’t put on weight as quickly as their brothers.

As a result, we call upon all contact with them to cease with immediate effect and have called off the proposed demonstration for friday.

more importants things than foie gras

23.06.2010 20:45

for gods sake, there are more important things than Foie gras to demonstrate about at the moment. Hitler was vegetarian. while i am against animal cruelty, there is another more sinister agenda behind these animal rights groups who want to force, browbeat, and morally blackmail everyone towards vegetarianism. is there anything more authoritarian than a group telling people what they can and cannot eat. Meat of any kind is the meat of animals that have been killed for us. that is meat. the majority of people eat meat and like to eat it.i have tasted foie gras and it is rather tasty.

“is there anything more authoritarian than a group telling people what they can and cannot eat”

Yes there is something more authoritarian, saying others must die so you can choose to eat them.

anti-authoritarian
