About this Petition Pledge Petition Updates

Excerpt from www.nofoiegras.org:

"Foie gras (translated literally from French as "fatty liver" and pronounced 'fwah grah') is produced by cruel and inhumane farming practices. At just a few months old, ducks are confined inside dark sheds and force-fed enormous amounts of food several times a day. A farm worker grabs each duck and, one by one, thrusts a metal pipe down their throats so that a mixture of corn can be forced directly into their gullets. In just a matter of weeks, the ducks become grossly overweight and their livers expand up to 10 times their normal size."

Amazon continues to offer a large selection of this extraordinarily cruel product on their website. I guess they think they're attracting more business than they're repelling, or that this is about consumer freedom. But it's not our freedom to torture living, breathing birds.

Boycott Amazon, and sign this petition so they'll find out how much business they're losing:
