Sounds unethical, archaic and painfully slow to me. I am also grateful to John Burton, APRL and everyone else who helped get Senate Bill 1520 passed, albeit far too lenient, phasing out production of Foie Gras Farms in California, over the past 6 years. Let's ENSURE that it is DONE, without further delay or back sliding!!I would like to join this group but my pop up blocker wouldn't open the window for some reason. I would honestly like to see greed driven producers prosecuted, and everyone educated about this horrific abuse of animals, IF it continues beyond this year! We MUST boycott & campaign against all chefs, stores & restaurants who support this disgraceful industry until EVERY foie gras farm is closed down! Lobbyists masquerading as the Coalition for Humane & Ethical Farming must also be exposed for the pro foie gras lobbyists they are. I believe that when enough people are aware of the atrocities being committed, politicians will feel the pressure and law enforcement will have to prosecute the offenders for violations. I will celebrate your victory when there is an end to the suffering & horrific deaths of countless numbers of ducks & geese, so needlessly, for too long. Godspeed!=^..^=https://www.blogger.com/profile/13107337912631736239noreply@blogger.com
