Foie Gras Production Documentary

Friday, November 24th, 2006

A fifteen minute program documenting the cruel process of making Foie Gras. Young ducklings are hatched in their masses, any females are thrown into a chute and onto a conveyor belt to be killed by suffocation or gassing.

Males are then force fed food in such a horrific way. A short and very painful life, how can this be allowed.

It would be interesting to receive some comments on this to hear what you think. To do this, please click on the ‘comments’ link just below the video.

Please also take a moment to sign the manifesto to call a ban to foie gras production at www.stopavage.com. If you want to sign but are unable to find the petition, you can find it here.

Warning: Some people may find this footage upsetting.
