Several South African restaurants have foie gras on the menu. This cruelly obtained item can surely be replaced by any one of a number of exotic alternatives. I am trying to get something going regarding banning the sale of foie gras in cape town restaurants. I ask you to help get the ball rolling and lead the trend in compassionate dining - helping to get rid of this awful item on the menu.

People around the world have spoken out against the cruelty of foie gras. Chicago banned the sale of this cruel product in 2006. His holiness pope benedict xvi denounced force-feeding as being in violation of biblical principles, and foie gras production has been outlawed in the u.k., germany, the czech republic, finland, luxembourg, norway, poland, sweden, switzerland, denmark, and israel.

Foie gras birds are kept in tiny wire cages or packed into sheds. Pipes are repeatedly shoved down the birds' throats, and up to 2 kgs of grain and fat are pumped into their stomachs two or three times every day. The pipes puncture many birds' throats, sometimes causing the animals to bleed to death. This cruel procedure causes the birds' livers to become diseased and swell to up to 10 times their normal size. It is literally diseased tissue that is served up with relish and at an awful cost - to the patrons too.
