As neighbors to Jeffrey’s restaurant in Clarksville, Austin, TX, we were moved by a recent protest demanding the removal of foie gras from their menu. This petition is our way of standing with those protesters and amplifying their message. Foie gras production involves force-feeding ducks or geese until their livers swell up to ten times their normal size - a practice widely recognized as cruel and abusive. The American Veterinary Medical Association has expressed concern over this method due to its potential for causing pain and distress to the animals involved. We believe that our local businesses should uphold ethical standards in sourcing their products. Therefore, we call upon Jeffrey's restaurant to stop serving foie gras and set an example for other establishments in our community. Please sign this petition if you agree that cruelty should not be on the menu at any dining establishment.
