Title: Urgent Petition -please sign and help x
Post by: Tan on December 22, 2006, 16:10:57 PM
CC towers have asked me to put a link to a petition to sign to help the animals involved in Foie Gras factories.
The manufacture of Foie Gras is done within production factories where thousands of animals are industrially force-fed by machines inducing atrocious suffering. The ducks and geese are force-fed by electropneumatic systems with approximately 800 g of corn a day where the half is injected in 3 to 5 seconds (the equivalent of 8 kg of noodles in 3 to 5 seconds for a man). The force-feding is done during 2 to 3 weeks in where the geese and ducks are locked in exiguous cages limiting and restricting all movements of the animal so that a faster fattening.

Please sign the e petiton here.

Signed......dreadful, cruel, disgusting, abhorrent.  There are not words enough to describe this cruel practice.

I'm never sure how much influence petitions have, to tell the truth, but I've signed this in the hope that it will help stop this abhorrent practice. I've boycotted foie gras (I speak a few words of French and the meaning of the name makes me shudder) all my life. Even if you don't sign the petition, please don't eat foie gras, here or en France.

PS For non-French speakers, you need to complete all the fields for your submission to count.

Have signed as I am wholly against the exploitation of any animal.  I do wonder whether any notice is taken of all the petitions - and I sign a lot of them!

Isabel - it means 'fatty liver': the birds' livers become enlarged because of the force-feeding. That's what gives them the 'distinctive texture'. Wikipedia has a comprehensive entry on foie gras.
