I can tell you I never had or wanted duck liver also I never even seen it for sale and I do allot of shopping. However, I guess the fancy restaurants get it some way and I hope they get from people who take care of their animals in a human way. I know many years back it was veal, that the people had a problems with because they forced feed the baby calf. Today I do not think people even know what real veal is and I have no problem with that.

I check it out on the net Mel, as i hav'nt heard of Foie Gras, i couldn't believe the U.S. were capable of this, you can expect barberous, cruelty from France, but not the U.S, let's hope the other states follow California's lead,

I'm a bit of an "ostrich" when it comes to this, Ann, for the simple fact that, each time there is a report on tv, I have to switch the channel because it just upsets me so much. Even just typing and thinking about it is tough. :(

Thank you mel for pointing this out. and thank you California. Why and when have we become so barbaric and insensitive to the suffering of animals? Foir Gras has been banned in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Finland, Italy Luxembourg, Netherland, Norway, Poland, So. Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark and Israel. We have a long way to go in the US. Now I also wonder what happend to the beautiful male Mallard ducks that I had on my beach for month. There are 18 females now and no more males. My imagination is running away with me and I hope they are alright somewhere else.I am so worried.about them.

The more people are aware of this, the better. I am sure many people ate duck liver, but have no idea how it is obtained. Please, everyone, stop this cruel practice, by not eating duck liver. The ducks will thank you! xxx

Mel, the practise of making foie gras is totally barbaric.

Good on ya for campaigning. Let's hope more people

realize this is cruelty. I wish Spain would stop their

national pastime of bullfighting. That is also horrific.

Quite agree, Dar, just as bad as shooting ducks and harmless deer.

Dardaigh

Not that I ever ate the stuff anyway but I was totally shocked when I heard about this practise years ago. I don't agree with hunting either, Bulletman. I won't eat veal or lamb. We can be so cruel to animals, sometimes.
