What animals are used to make Foie Gras?
Correct answer: Duck and Goose
Tianah Olson
A very inhuman dish. Glad its banned in most states

Sonia, They make pate from most of those animals but fois gras means 'fat liver' and is obtained by force feeding the animal. l believe that originally they used to nail the birds' feet to boards and force food down their throats. Unbelievably inhumane and rightly banned in most (hopefully all) countries.

it tastes awful and costs a ton! it's horrible what they do to the bird. force feeding it until it can't take any more. they aren't allowed to move or exercise, the fattier the liver the better. yuck!

LaughingParakeet52, SERIOUSLY 😳. That is so unbelievable. How can a sentient being do something this vile. Thank goodness it’s illegal in Cali!!!

disgustingly cruel.why would anyone buy this muck

Anyone who orders this at a restaurant, buys it, eats it is VILE. They are contributing to extreme cruelty. Even the words 'force fed' should be enough to repel, but no, humans are cruel and disgusting for their own gratification.

Player #50531971, Thanks for the info. All my life I have been staunchly anti because of force feeding. This is something I really want to know about😊
meka
My Dad was very big on animal rights...when I was small he told. me about it because we were given some at Christmas.
He was a man before his time...and I have lectured everyone I've known since on this evil practice.

Player #50531971, I knew someone who used the Spanish method. The animals would show up at feeding time with their mouths open begging for the food. They were free-range the rest of the time and the fire gras was delicious.

The birds are force fed until their liver explodes and that is what's been served. I wouldn't touch it with a ten feet pole.

Tianah Olson, I would never touch it. My conscience would not let. Torture of animals, too much of that in the world already!
Player #46621665
one of many cruel things we do to farm animals.
Billie
Very cruel, cannot believe people still eat it.
Jomofo
Never would want to try this cruel dish 👎👎👎
Player #50531971
there is a farm in Spain where they are producing it without force feeding the geese. the farmers there are trying to teach others so that the practice will change. experts say it's excellent stuff and the geese are very happy.

Very cruel way to make this. The birds never see sunlight or water. they get actually stuffed. often even their stomachs cant hold the huge amount of food. And it actually is made of a diseased liver! Fatty liver is nothing good! Very cruel business.

why did I just have a flashback to kindergarten?

Player maz, thank you for updating us on the current practice in France. There are far more cruel things done to animals in factory farms in North America than letting a goose eat in a field...

It should banned throughout the whole world!

Forced to produce..is more accurate.
Player #11557707
Disgusting. We need to evolve as a race and see animals as sentient beings. Makes me ashamed to be labeled human.
Player #2512936
Simple way to get rid of this:. Do Not buy!
Player maz
Player #2957501, i live near a goose farm in france. they live in lovely fields with same age geese. they are not force fed. there are hundreds of them you would need an army to manually force feed each one. the force feeding was an old practice done by small holders and some farmers years ago. nowadays the geese are just allowed to eat as much corn as they want and they love it and if allowed would eat themselves to death. still not a healthy or nice product but in comparison to your average chicken and egg producer. the geese near me have a great life.

Tianah Olson, Now if we could just get the people of the world that want to KILL & eat whales to STOP? This might be a better world ????
Player #5100533
Player #2957501, Maybe, if I had a bad car accident or something???
Player #8305386
Bebe 🙃 This is a disgusting, shameful way to produce a silly tasty treat just so that sad idiots can indulge in a second of flavour in their tongue. just eat a spoonful of butteryou sado's.

Player #2047250, oh my goodness this world is just insane. Some of the things I learn that are so disturbing, but true on such a mass scale is upsetting indeed. I couldn't watch this process ever. oh no.
