Foie gras production is hideously cruel and it is good to see some meat eaters also support the campaign. But for those no-vegans who will not buy animal products produced in a cruel manner, if you followed that maxim consistently you will find that with the possible exception of home killed free range meat, and some free range eggs, there are not many animal products left to eat.

Broiler chicken production (the type bought in supermarkets or takeaways like KFC) suffer agony in their legs for about 20% of their 6 weeks on earth.

Battery hens are cramped together in cages far too small for them, for 18 months.

Pigs are kept in sow stalls and farrowing crates for their whole life until they go literally insane with boredom.

Dairy cows have their calves forcibly removed form them at birth

and all animals go through slaughterhouses with such high line speeds that there is inevitably a high proportion that are cut open or scalded alive.

A double standard is better than no standard at all, but why not be consistent with your anti-cruelty stance and go vegan!

Although I'm not a vegetarian I think the way foie gras is produced is appalling. I certainly agree that this should be stopped!

so what?

comrades,

so what??? let people eat what they want. if you dont like it, dont eat it. what is this moralistic stuff, what you can or cant eat is not really politics. this is a pseudo campaign and does not deserve support. ( after kicking the arse out of animal rights activists elsewhere, there is no need to rehearse those arguments) Not everyone is a veggie and do not want to be told what we can and cannot eat.

I'm strongly thinking of becoming veggie again but I know attempting veganism would be better for myself, for animals and for the planet.

Comrades,

Foie gras production is a disgusting and vile trade and I have full solidarity with your campaign.

Yes,

Sai ko jo has it right. we believe that eating meat is the only way to make people stronger to overcome global capitalism. eat meat. if you love animals, than you eat them. so what??

The George Orwell double-speakers are out;according to their logic ANIMAL LIBERATION means supporting slaughterhouses and eating animal flesh.

'sai ko jo' is not me!

and I truly am trying to make amends by trying to adopt a vegan diet.

Please stop trying to confuse the posts.

Pay your web bills NANRAS!!

None of the above.

The truth will surface .. in the end .. be patient, you have a lifetime to witness its becoming, let go, help it along its way.

Meanwhile, be kind to all and most importantly be true to your original self. Harm nothing on your journey. Peace.
