Tell Oceania Cruises to Stop Serving Foie Gras

Tell Oceania Cruises to Stop Serving Foie Gras

The Issue

 

Oceania Cruises prides itself on serving luxury cuisine, but one of their prized dishes comes at a huge cost to animals. Oceania serves foie gras to its guests, even though the cruel production methods of foie gras are well documented.

Foie gras is made by force-feeding ducks and geese through a metal feeding tube in order to create a fatty, diseased liver. This process sometimes results in holes in a bird's sensitive neck, and the bird's engorged liver often becomes diseased. The birds are kept in filthy, crammed conditions while they wait to be force-fed. 

Many of the places that Oceania Cruises ports at don't approve of foie gras. More than 15 countries have outlawed foie gras production, as has the state of California. 

Luxury doesn't have to be cruel. Sign the petition to ask Oceania Cruises to stop serving foie gras on board.
