4/16, San Mateo, Protest foie gras special dinner

[Guest guest]

Protest foie gras " special dinner " in San Mateo, CA

 

Two chefs in California are on a " personal crusade " to defend the " right " of

restaurateurs to sell the diseased livers of force-fed ducks as an expensive

gourmet delicacy. They have scheduled a " special " twelve-course dinner with

each course featuring either foie gras or duck, including a " ducksicle "

desert. The dinner is intended to support California's foie gras and duck

meat producers, who have recently come under scrutiny for torturing ducks

for profit, and in reaction to the recent passage of California's law

banning the force-feeding of ducks for foie gras.

 

Please join Viva!USA, Animal Place, Farm Sanctuary and In Defense of Animals

for an educational outreach event outside this " special dinner " to remind

diners and the public that these chefs are attempting to justify and promote

egregious cruelty to animals for the sake of a gourmet meal.
