BREAKING: In Defense Of Animals Celebrates Foie Gras Ban Reinstated in California
In Defense of Animals has welcomed news that the U.S 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has justly restored the California foie gras ban. The ban was initially passed in response to public outcry over cruel methods used to farm geese for foie gras after many years of campaigning by In Defense of Animals and other animal activists.
“We are thrilled on behalf of animals and the public that California’s landmark foie gras ban has been upheld after many years of campaigning,” said Marilyn Kroplick M.D., President of In Defense Of Animals. “Foie gras farms are little more than animal torture chambers. We encourage other states to follow California’s lead and reject institutionalized animal cruelty.”
U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Harry Pregerson ruled in favor of restoring California’s foie gras sales ban, stating, “Do you think the duck enjoys that? I think it is absolutely cruel. The people don’t agree with it.”
