Foie gras is cruel and abusive. The UK must follow through on its promise to ban it.

These abused animals can't speak for themselves, so they need our help and advocacy. Hold the UK Government to Its Promise of Protecting Animals by Banning Torturous Foie Gras Sign Now    Annisa, Foie gras is a brutally inhumane "delicacy." It is a food that can only be made by farmers locking frightened geese and ducks inside cages, then force-feeding them. Handlers shove funnels in each bird's mouth and pour excessive amounts of grain down their throats, until their livers swell vastly larger than is normal.   The process is so grotesque that the UK banned any production of foie gras within its borders back in 2006. But this ban did not affect imports from other countries, like France. In fact, each year, approximately 180 tons of this vile product are imported to the UK from European countries.   After Brexit, multiple government leaders spent years promising to ban the importation of the merciless product. That happened most recently last year, when the Labour Party promised to finally ban these imports if it won the general election. It did win. But now its leaders are refusing to comment on or address their promise to uphold animal welfare. It is not acceptable for elected leaders to sacrifice animals' welfare to their political ambitions. If they campaigned on protecting animals and won the election, they have a duty to follow through on those promises. Sign the petition to demand that the UK government immediately ban the importation of foie gras and follow through on its promise to protect animals!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Animals can't speak for themselves, so they rely on us to have our hearts in the right place and to be their advocates. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
