Join us in protesting the cruel production of foie gras! In this industry, male ducks are force-fed twice daily, and geese up to three times a day, in a process called “gavage.” This involves workers forcing pipes down their throats to pump up to 4 pounds of grain and fat into their stomachs. This cruel practice causes their livers to swell up to 10 times their normal size, making it difficult for the birds to stand. Out of extreme stress, many birds tear out their own feathers and even attack each other.These birds are confined to tiny cages or crowded sheds, where they can't bathe or groom themselves. As a result, they become coated in excrement and oils that would normally protect their feathers. Let's take a stand against this horrific treatment of animals!
WHEN: Saturday September 21, 6:30 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.
