Foie gras restaurant in Brum - Please Help!

Birmingham Animal Rights Collective | 22.07.2008 17:48 | Animal Liberation | Birmingham

After starting a demonstraion outside of Edmunds restaurant on the 21st July against their sale of foie gras we were kindly escorted off the premises by these lovely cheerful characters...



Unfortunatley Edumunds restaurant is on private property which is making it very difficult to campaign against their restaurant. We need as much support as possible and it would be very benificial to us if you could write Edmunds restaurant a letter of complaint explaining the process of foie gras production.

ASK THEM TO REMOVE IT FROM THEIR MENU AND CUT THEIR TIES WITH THIS FORM OF ANIMAL ABUSE!

Please write or make telephone calls to:

Edmunds restaurant-
6 Central Square
BrindleyPlace
Birmingham
B1 2JB

I put the request on my weblog  http://animals-in-the-news.blogspot.com, so hopefully some people in the Netherlands will also write a letter to the restaurant.

This week by the way a Dutch member of Parliament, Ger Koopmans of the christian democrates, told the media that he wants to reintroduce foie gras on the menue of the Parliament. He visisted a farm where foie gras is being made and according to this member of Parliament foie gras is being made in a proper way!!! An article on this topic can be read also on the weblog  http://animals-in-the-news.blogspot.com. This is just a part from that article:

'Koopmans recently visited three farms in France. "I know now that foie gras is produced in a responsible manner. It is not really more brutal than our livestock and certainly not more than all the people who are at home and let their dog become too fat ', says Koopmans."

How can you get in contact with Koopmans:
