The Healdsburg is an up and coming region in the Napa Valley, so we expect a good amount of foot traffic. Foie gras,

French for "fatty liver," made from the grotesquely enlarged livers of

male ducks and geese. Birds are kept in tiny wire cages or packed in

sheds, covered in their own filth.Two or three times every day,

workers shove long inflexible pipes down the ducks' throats. They pump

up to 4 pounds of grain and fat into their stomachs; the equivalent of

about 28 pounds of spaghetti in a human being.The

pipes puncture many birds' throats, sometimes causing them to bleed to

death. This cruel procedure diseases the birds' livers,swelling them up

to 10 times their normal size. Many

birds become too sick to stand up. The birds who survive the

force-feeding are killed, and their livers are sold as foie gras.Foie gras production is so cruel that it has been banned in Israel, the Czech Republic,Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.K. In 2004, California law banned the production and sale of foie gras throughout the state by 2012.United Airlines, Delta, Holland's KLM, and Scandinavia's SAS have removed foie gras from their in-flight menus.On

March 31, 2009, San Francisco passed a resolution that supports San

Francisco restaurants who remove foie gras from their menus.For more info on foie gras cruelty, please check out:StopForceFeeding.com_____ Add Army of Compassion to your Facebook!Impact Improving Animal Welfare and the Planet:Please consider sharing news of this with family, friends, and colleagues by forwarding copies of this announcement in it's entirety:If someone has forwarded this notice to you, please to AoC announcements: AoC announcements are a fr!ee service, written and distributed by Army of Compassion Vegan Advocacy.
