Animal Suffering, or The Disgraceful Way Humans Behave

[suki_blue]

Has anyone seen this stuff all over the news today about the bloated duck and goose livers Foie Gras? Fucking disgusting. Filthy bastards. I cried for a while and now I'm going to do some research and find what I can personally do to stop this cruel act: THIS and THIS

And if you can, watch THIS and tell me you don't want to do something.

I could only watch part of it, and then...I just...couldn't.

I'd already seen most of it and worse on the news so when I found the video on YouTube I just skimmed it. I couldn't watch it either. Barbaric.

I saw it all over the lunchtime news and it is utterly disgraceful what they do to those poor defenceless animals. I'm a vegetarian and an animal rights activist, and this absoloutely disgusted me. I'm with you.
Also, if I haven't told you already (slightly off topic), I love your H/D fiction. :)

I almost couldn't believe my eyes. How can this type of thing still go on??? I'm absolutely floored by it. I've got to do something!

Oh, and thank you! ~blush~ I'm still pretty new to writing H/D, but I'm really enjoying it. Draco is a wonderful character.

Check out www.farmsanctuary.org they have been instrumental in getting several states to ban cruel Foie Gras practices, as well as veal crating, selling downed animals for slaughter as human food, etc.; although Chicago city council members (paid off by the factory farming industry) have just introduced an ordinance to repeal the Foie Gras ban that was just passed there. Farm Sanctuary is also in the middle of a write-in/call-in/email campaign to get Amazon.com to stop selling Foie Gras by mail.

I'll definitely take a look. Thanks. Amazon sell it!?!?!?!? Is there anything they don't sell? ~rolls eyes~ I'll def get in on that campaign.

This is disgusting & shameful!! How can people do this?? Scratch that, those involved in this are not even human beings in my dictionary!

[suki_blue]

It's not on, is it? And it makes you wonder about how other animals are treated, too. What other animals do they fatten up?

This is exactly why I've stopped eating meat. I really don't want to know how it got on my plate & what happened to make it get there. I understand eating for survival, but this is not even that! It's just plain sadistic cruelty!!

Poor duckies.
I'm a meat eater through and through. I likes me the meat (and that sounded dirty), but I'm a big believer in people not being cruel to animals. Most countries have laws against animal cruelty, yet somehow the laws don't apply to food production.
Serious, I'm pretty sure they made fois gras back in the day without forcefeeding the wee animals. ::Sighs::

I always thought animals bred for food had to be looked after and killed in a humane way. I'm in total shock that this isn't always the case!
