FOIE GRAS ACTION

About Me

Foie Gras Action was formed to combat the restaurant trade's continued sale of foie gras, a 'delicacy' made from the diseased livers of ducks and geese. On a daily basis, the birds have pipes forced down their throats and are fed grain until their livers become inflamed, swollen and infected. They can swell upto ten times their natural size, causing the birds to suffer, before they have their throats slit.The practice of farming birds to make foie gras was outlawed in the UK due to the immence cruelty involved, but a loophole in the act makes it legal to import the food. Restaurants throughout the country serve the dish and we intend to highlight those involved and bring an end to this grisely trade.
