| Brian, I don't see that citing other cases of poultry farming as being "more cruel" to be any kind of defence - much less as a reason to sit back and do nothing. Geese and ducks are force-fed with ruptured organs, throat injuries, liver failure, and heat stress being a common cause of death as a result. Foie Gras means fatty liver and the only way to achieve this unnaturally engorged fatty organ is to force feed. There is no kind way, and there is no excusing it. |
