Sample Communication -
It has come to my attention that members of the Crown Group are selling Foie Gras. Foie Gras is a so-called delicacy, the production of which commonly involves the force-feeding of birds by shoving tubes down the animals’ throats. The animals’ liver then swells painfully. In the UK force-feeding birds is not legal, but the government claims EU/international rules mean they cannot ban its sale. The process can cause suffocation and injuries to the birds’ throats. Many birds die in this process even before being sent for slaughter.
The continued sale of this product, dubbed ‘torture in a tin’, is simply not acceptable. It is time the Crown Group moved into the 21st century. A number of other businesses are now Foie Gras free, don’t let the Crown Groups image be left behind!
Please contact the person responsible for Crown Group policy on my behalf and ask them to put a permanent end to the sale of this product.
