Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Chicago reverses Foie Gras BanFri, 16 May 2008 01:06:15 -0400 I am sorry to report that there was also a dose of bad news yesterday, too. At the insistence of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the Chicago City Council reversed the city's ban on the sale of foie gras—a product that comes from the diseased livers of ducks and geese force-fed so much that their livers swell to ten times their normal size. It's a cruel and degrading practice, all done for a table treat. Mayor Daley has shamed Chicago with his action, and the City Council exhibited not only a lack of compassion, but also a failure of resolve and fortitude. We'll be following up and urge you to contact the Mayor, who has certainly demonstrated he's no friend of animal protection. Polite, professional phone calls can be directed to his office at 312-744-3300. Posted by Wayne Pacelle on 15 May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
