Many of us grew up reading the adventures of the town of Duckburg. .. who has rooted for the clumsy or Donald has not learned the rudiments of capitalism from Uncle Scrooge's Number One? Growing up, for some, the palate is so refined to encourage them to consider a delicacy foie gras exclusive ... but maybe not everyone knows how the product actually is.
Therefore, despite the crudeness of the description, I must bring back the following, from the magazine of the Anti-Vivisection League (LAV), Footprints.
Foie gras is the product of fatty liver disease induced in animals: the treatment lasts from 2 to 4 weeks during which it is fired directly into the gullet of animals, from 3 to 8 times a day, a ball of corn cooked salt and weighing about 400/500 g (as if a person of 80 kg was forced to eat 20 pounds of spaghetti a day). A proof of this torture was conducted in a Dutch television on a volunteer DJ Giel Beelen, whose movie is available on nl.youtube.com.
The gavage is implemented through a metal tube about 28 cm that is stuck in the throat of causing, among other things, choking, fractures and injuries to the neck goiter causing infections.
In Italy, last March, has banned the cruel practice of forced dell'ingozzamento ducks and geese, as in Poland and Israel.
The largest producer of foie gras is France, followed by Belgium, Bulgaria and Hungary.
paraphrase Pascal, I think we can say that the heart has its reasons, that the palate does not know.
Beyond the simplistic reasons for not opposing vegetarians and carnivores, in fact I believe that we must begin to distinguish between what we need / want to eat a healthy and balanced diet and what we can give solace knowing that a dinner there is offered in the face of enormous suffering of other living beings.
