Idiot Article in Village Voice Calls Foie Gras Humane
I was extremely disappointed to read this article in the Village Voice, basically saying foie gras and how they make it up at Hudson Valley Foie Gras Farm, isn’t so bad. The simple facts behind what foie gras is should be enough for the basic human to know that it’s a cruel practice. Let’s see – force feeding a goose or duck until their liver grows to ten times the normal size… Or how about force feeding the bird 1/3 of their body weight each day in order to make their livers swell… Does that sound compassionate? Does giving a bird a diseased liver, in any way, sound like a humane practice?
Sarah Digregorio took a tour of Hudson Valley Foie Gras, and was not totally appalled by what she saw. Even though she was warned that she and her photographer would get the “nice” tour – you know, the one where they don’t show you the full story and pick out the least tortured looking birds.
Who cares that the animal experts on this know what they are talking about? Digregorio took the Hudson Valley Foie Gras farm’s word on it. And the ones making money off the diseased livers of birds – yeah, those are the ones I’d trust. Farm Sanctuary, the group doing the big campaign in NYC, wasn’t even interviewed for the article. Talk about not giving the full story!
