What the petition asks
Britain should ban the trade and importation of foiegras because to produce “foie gras” workers ram pipes down the throats of male ducks or geese three times a day, up to 4 pounds daily. The force-feeding causes the birds’ livers to swell to up to 10 times their normal size.
Eating foiegras can trigger diseases that people predisposed to such as Alzheimer’s CJD and diabetes.

This tortuous behaviour towards a living creature is not acceptable to me, I hope it isn’t acceptable to you. Please sign and share this petition to get foiegras banned from UK soil for good.
