yes ma'am, they did. Mayor Daley thinks it's cruel.
If our leaders spent as much time worrying about REAL issues as they do messing w/ minor things like foie gras, we wouldn't be in our current pickle!

I think Chicago knows what you mean; apparently Richard Daley changed his mind.
In the link in my previous post about the repealing of the law, the title of the article included the phrase 'Silliest Law Ever'
Forcefeeding is cruel, but you can create foie gras without resorting to it.
It just might not be as gras.

Where are my cheez-its?
They've developed a new flexible force feeding tube (a kinder gentler delivery). Also not sure if this is a BullSh*t industry line or not, but geese/ducks have hardened throat tissue and cannot feel a tube, so 'they' say.
I can appreciate your choice, but ducks or geese that are used in the production of foie gras, typically are such rock stars, that up until only the last 12 weeks of their lives, are actually allowed to range happily and freely - unlike most other chicken farms. I guess that brings up the separate issue as to whether the inhumanity in part stems from the fact that they're treated very well until the last 12 weeks of life.
Pigs are incredibly bright animals, most researchers certainly have them above the average family dog in terms of intelligence and yet they're force fed in pens and slaughtered........
The goose brain, being the size of the pea gives me some sollace.... If I give up Foie Gras, I'll also have to give up pork, and most other meats.... although perhaps they'rd be some free range chicken that are humanely euthanized (rather than summarily guillotined) that I could partake of.
