| To produce foie gras, ducks and geese are force-fed through a metal tube shoved down their throats up to three times daily. Poultry welfare expert Dr. Ian Duncan writes: “Force feeding quickly results in birds that are obese and in a pathological state, called hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease. There is no doubt that in this pathological state, the birds will feel very ill….[I]t is completely unethical to deliberately promote a diseased state in an animal.” |
