Please call your representatives to ask them to support HB2421. This bill would ban the force-feeding of ducks and geese to produce foie gras.
These animals are fed huge quantities of food multiple times a day causing the liver to swell up to 10 times normal size. The food is delivered through a pipe put into their throats. The birds suffer many physical and psychological maladies in the force-feeding process. It is hard to believe that in our “civilized” society we are imposing such horrible treatment on these innocent creatures.
