Foie Gras-loving Chefs Fight Ban With Last-ditch Petition

You an asshole animal cult lunatic. I hope a freaking bear eats you alive. Poetic justice.

Chefs have big time respect for animals. thats y we use every part of the animal. Start talking to some chefs in real life to get to know us. Most of them might shock u on how much they respect where our food comes from.

ill watch hours of it. its just FOOD.

I'm an asshole. I love foie gras. I'm also American and believe in freedom. I believe in a farmer's right to earn a living. I've also seen Geese and ducks fed on foie gras farms. It is not cruel. The animals are not confined like chicken are. They get fed then run around and play with their fellow geese.Consider this: bears gorge themselves for winter. Ducks and geese also eat a lot for migration. The general process of fattening a liver is natural. So many humans do this and seem pretty happy. The funnel used to feed the animals is no different than the bird swallowing a fish whole (as they do)...the funnel is probably more comfortable.Those who have only read the activists propaganda are not seeing the whole picture. If it were up to the activists we'd all be vegans.The only thing that needs to change is the conditions animals are raised. Humane foie gras (not factory farmed) should be the goal. Banning doesn't address the real issue of factory farming and animal cruelty. I say stop the ban and instead take a step towards humane farming. Let farmers farm, chefs cook and most importantly, Americans enjoy their freedom to choose.

I have actually, on several occasions, watched the feeding of both ducks and geese in this manner in France and I can assure you that they show absolutely no signs of displeasure.  To the contrary, the moment the person with the feeding device enters the enclosure the birds flock around him, and if not fed promptly, peck at his clothes.  Frankly, anyone who thinks the animals express displeasure at this process simply hasn't seen it.

Thinking of all the inhumane treatment that goes on in industrial meat production, you'd think an issue as peripheral and miniscule by comparison as foie wouldn't make it onto PETA radar.  But it has, and why do you think?  Because these assholes think they can stop foie.  They'd rather intimidate small farmers and chefs because they're more vulnerable, because small farmers and chefs are easy prey, not because the issue is more pressing.  And big meat manufacturers, well they get off the hook because they have more money and power to protect their interests.  Is that a good reason to go after foie?

You clowns are all bullshit. Foie Gras is amazing to the taste and notable restaurant's best dish includes it. Why the hell of all things-- is putting a ban on foie gras even a discussion!!!

i think ill try me some foie gras before its banned.

Actually you guys are the assholes. Who the fuck are you to tell people what they can and can't eat? I suppose next you'll try to ban kosher  or hallel meat because the way they're processed. If you don't like a food fine don't eat it but fuck you in you're smug pie hole if you think you have some divine right to dictate what other eat. 

Consider this: "the act of inciting fervent righteousness can come at a heavy cost, particularly when its aim is to impose one group’s morals upon another in such intensely personal matters as food and sex. This fact explains abortion clinic bombings, the murder of Dr. George Tiller at his Wichita church, the horrific history of gay bashing. This explanation also accounts for the streak of hatred and violence that exists within the animal rights movement, examples of which include run-of-the-mill stuff like trespassing, vandalism and theft at farms and research laboratories, to more craven acts such as donning masks and banging on the doors and windows of homes with sleeping children, to soliciting assassins on Facebook... [T]he Jeffersonian ideal [means] that the principal purpose of law is to protect public safety and welfare, not an instrument for projecting someone’s personal morality on others." (http://incanto.biz/2012/04/29/...

Human greed can outweight their sense of dignity or self respect. These chefs are pigs.  They have no more respect for human life & rights than they do animals. I will be glad when foie gras is completely banned and look forward to the day when the human race will get back on the evolutionary track toward civilization and enlightenment. It may be far off, but if we have to make laws to increase human awarenes of simple common decency and dignity, so be it.  

If you eat foie gras you're an asshole. Watch one minute of how they force feed those animals and it'll make you sick- and if doesn't- you're an asshole.
