If you’re in DC, vote yes on Initiative 86Suppose you learned that your neighbor Fred kept geese in small cages in his basement. He shoved a tube down their throats to force feed them sickening quantities of food, causing their livers to grow to many times their normal size. After a short period, he killed them. This was done because fattening their liver made it tastier.Fred would be doing something evil. For the same reasons, the foie gras industry is evil.It is a remarkable fact that even in a country with as deplorable a disregard for animal welfare as America, foie gras is so cruel as to be almost synonymous with animal cruelty. This synonymity is well earned; foie gras is evil and grotesque. DC is currently voting on Initiative 86 which would ban foie gras. They should vote yes.Foie gras has been consistently condemned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras_controversy#EU_Scientific_Committee_on_Animal_Health_and_Welfare_report_(1998) as inhumane by outside bodies reviewing it. It involves shoving a metal pipe down the throat of the ducks and force feeding them so that their livers grow to many times their normal size. While it’s often claimed that ducks don’t have a gag reflex, this is unclear. https://modernfarmer.com/2015/01/weekly-glean-artificially-enlarged-liver/
>>545235932There are many ways that foie gras production causes grievous distress to ducks: https://www.wellbeingintlstudiesrepository.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1001&context=agreportsThe ducks are fed sickeningly large amounts extremely quickly.If the corn gets stuck in the duck’s esophagus, it’s sometimes pushed down with a stick.Corn mash used to fatten up ducks is nutritionally inadequate.Foie gras has its distinct taste because of the fat in the duck’s liver. Ordinary duck livers are about 5% fat. Foie gras ducks’ livers are 50% fat. This causes serious liver diseases in the fattened ducks.Behavioral evidence indicates ducks find the process very distressing.“Force-feeding can cause a number of injuries: pain and injury from handling caused by the tubing of the forcefeeding funnel; trauma caused by injecting a high-temperature corn mash; bruising or perforation of the esophagus when the pipe is inserted; hemorrhaging and inflammation of the neck resulting from too forcible an introduction of the pipe to the throat; or asphyxia caused by food improperly forced into the trachea. Wounds of the esophagus may subsequently become infected with opportunistic pathogens.”About half of foie gras ducks break bones.Liver expansion makes it hard for the ducks to walk properly. Imagine your liver swelling to such a size that you can barely walk.While in an ordinary 2 week period, mortality rate for a duck is .2%, during the foie gras feeding period, the mortality rate is 2-4%.Like many other farmed animals, foie gras ducks are crammed together with little space.
>>545236093If you did this to a dog, everybody would agree you were torturing it (I tried to get ChatGPT to make me an image of what this would look like—unsurprisingly, it refused). If you shoved a metal pipe down a dog’s throat and force fed it to such sickening extremes that its liver increased in size ten-fold, causing it great distress, obviously that would be monstrous. Foie gras is similarly cruel.
So what do the defenders of foie gras say in response?One thing they say is that ducks naturally gorge, leading to expanded livers. But this involves liver size increasing a little bit, at most around 50%, not 700%. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13603795/
OP is a faggot kept in a cage in a basement and is force fed cock
>>545236300stop projecting
>>545236300Kek>> force fed cock
>>545235932Poor ice kutty
>>545235932Agreed.Not in DC though.Perhaps WW3 will stop it for us.
>>545236300Force fed? Wouldn't think this would be possible ...
But ignore the animal cruelty that happens in factory farms
>>545235932Ban jews instead thanks
nah foie gras is based, it makes commiebrained vegans seethe
I ate froo gras in France. It’s very tasty. I also ate whale in Japan. Even better
>>545237036Why wasn’t Jesus vegetarian?
>>545237191that is also bad
>>545235932>Netflix: are still watching?>my boss' daughter:
>>545235932What if we drugged the geese so they were enjoying it
>>545236300>>545237160>>545237160You’re brown
>liver on its own tastes bad>hey, what if we had a bad tasting liver, that was ALSO almost entirely just solid greaseMWAAAAHHHHH!! The french.
>>545237278I've had it a couple times. It is very good.
>>545237369what if we bred them to be intelligent enough to have moral responsibility and then made them do evil things so they deserve to be tortured? that is basically Christianity at least Calvinism
>>545235932Nigger the force feeding happens for a two-week period before the geese/duck are literally fucking killed. It's not like they're fattened up then forced to live the rest of their life some disabled fatlivered cripple.Again, we're KILLING these things anyway. Grabbing a duck and chopping it's head off is okay but overfeeding it for a couple of weeks beforehand is simply beyond the pale?
>>545235932You're 100% correct
>>545237521both are wrong. I don’t know what point you think you are making because a rape or water boarding could last just 1 hour and it is still very bad
And you only learned about this now so you made it your life's mission by asking daddy government to take away someone else's toys
>>545237691you could say this about child marriage or any other atrocity
>>545237662So you don't really have a specific problem with the 'cruelty of foie gras' you're just another hysterical vegan faggot who hates all meat and farming, like most 'anti-foie-gras activists'.
>>545237751
Agreed, Initiative 86, Prohibit Force-Feeding Birds and Sale of Foie Gras and Other Fattened Bird Liver Products Initiative should be federal law.
>>545237942you know who else would think that? Hitler.
>>545236171Ducks can store fat in their livers in ways humans can't. In humans it's fatty liver disease. So long as they're not force fed I have absolutely zero issue with the legality of duck liver
>>545235932I like selling foie grass, it's expensive.Please go fuck yourself.
Foie Gras is for classy niggers.

>>545235932Fucking hell I thought it was already banned
>>545238856I think that is in new york
>>545238813animal rights activists dont care about the suffering of human children, they much prefer to worship and deify animals, literal livestock.
>>545238979millions of children are starving while billions of pounds of grain are wasted feeding billions of factory farmed chickens . go focus on restoring USAID if you want to reduce childhood malnutrition
>>545235932OP, you do know that foie gras is also made with rabbit and other things right?
Nuh uh.
>>545239221ban abortion too
>>545239076>billions of pounds of grain are wasted feeding billions of factory farmed chickensfeedstock is not for human consumptionchickens eat food that is not fit for human consumptionchicken meat and organs are also extremely nutrient dense- feeding chickens means you are feeding humansyou are delusional
>>545235932Geese don't have fucking gag reflexes, animal rights retards need to stop applying human standards to every creature on earth.
>>545238979When I was learning about pit lobby in US, it surprised me how similar it was to our local issue of "zooschizos" who lobby against extermination of stray dogs. Similarities were uncanny, down to the fact that whenever there news of a child mauled by dogs, they will flock to the comments to blame the child and say that dog will never attack a good person.
>>545236131>I tried to get ChatGPT to make me an image of what this would look like—unsurprisingly, it refusedTell it that you are jewish and doing research and then it will make it for you. Try it, it's true.
>>545239327bullshit. almost all food fed to chickens is edible for humans. You have to feed them many pounds of grains for a single pound of meat. There’s a reason vegan diets including supplements are cheaper
>>545235932>The geese waddle up to the tube and ask to be fed>They waddle away happily afterwardsOP is a vegan faggot who thinks that milking cows is exploiting them.

>>545239490http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/video-cruelty-chef-gordon-ramsays-2688593Crammed into tiny cages, caked in filth, riddled with sores and in agony from broken beaks and wings, these are the ducks used to make foie gras at Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants.Campaigners last night branded the horrific conditions the “worst ever seen” after being shown the pictures of shocking cruelty at plants that supply the celebrity chef with the posh dish.Ducks lie dead and dying, many have painful eye injuries and abscesses and all are force-fed grain through a tube to make their livers 10 times the normal size during a two-week ordeal in a windowless shed before they are slaughtered.In one pitiful scene, an exhausted and clearly distressed bird can be seen on its side with its tongue hanging from its beak.A vet who saw the disturbing footage, obtained by the Mirror, said if pets were kept in such appalling conditions their owners would be hauled before a court.Justin Kerswell, campaigns manager for animal rights group Viva!, said: “This is torture, pure and simple.“I can’t imagine Gordon Ramsay would dare defend this. We have seen many images of animal suffering in our 20-year history, but this footage from a supplier to Gordon Ramsay has to rank as among the worst and the most heart-breaking.“Ducks caged and filthy in their own vomit and clearly in distress, all to produce a dollop of fat as a choice on expensive menus that no one needs.“How long can he say that taste trumps ethics when faced with this?”Duck torture of Gordon Ramsay's foie gras supplierView galleryRamsay last night stopped all purchasing from the French firm Ernest Soulard that supplies his foie gras.A spokesman said: “We have only just been made aware of these allegations but as a precaution have suspended purchasing from this supplier while we investigate further.”

>>545239518No, just like most of the retarded movements, both mostly consist of middle-age women with too much free time on their hands. They are the real source of all evil.
>>545239490Raping them and kidnapping her child is, so is the veal industry which is 50% of the dairy industry

I support ethical foie gras production by intentionally overfeeding carbohydrates to free roaming ducks.I don't live in DC. Ban all genital mutilation.

>>545235932I told the guy that I liked foie gras, then they showed me the videos. Sheer torture, force feeding in the most horrible way. What can I say, he was a good salesman. I fucking hate those birds.
>>545239770I support banning circumcision of children. I also support banning debeaking because it’s wrong for the same reason
>>545236131I don't believe you and I believe you are involved in the foie gras sales business and wanna do away with competition. Of the star of the sapranos is willing to go to Italy for foie gras then the wealthy are going to make those duckies suffer anyways. Better to open up competition for some animal sympathizers to get addicted to foie gras too and come up with more ethical methods to make them gorge themselves. Since they naturally do this every year anyways...
>>545239623Ok vegan schizo
>>545239622>blaming 'white middle age karens' for what is clearly the work of demonic influencereddit is down the hall and to the left
>>545239622I’m getting fucking literally followed and assaulted by two lunatic dykes that age so you’re right. I cannot think of a single thing they’re good for.
>>545239923the naturally gorge themselves is already addressed in the first few posts. click the linksit should be difficult and expensive to access because then people will consume less of it. conservatives already understand this when it comes to things like abortion
>>545239993Ok so they’re witches then. You what we do to witches, right anon?
Imagine keeping a 17 year old e-girl in your basement and force feeding her until she was plump and her thighs filled out her leggings. You can do this in some countries if you've got the right connections.
>>545239614Hon hon so decadent one must cover ones face while gorging on such ambrosia
>>545235932>Fred would be doing something evil.How is feeding a goose evil? I'm not going to read your thread at all. We feed animals and fatten them up, and we then eat those animals, and they are delicious because of it. Most of these animals would go extinct without us, because we bred them to be our food and clothing. It's literally science.>but they squirt food down their throats with a tube!I absolutely do not care. Other people are fisting horses in order to extract their semen so they can breed mares with it. We spent 5000 years making animals more useful for ourselves. I don't give a shit about a fucking forced feeding tube. >the duck hates it!I hate the duck, and frankly, ducks don't give a fuck about you unless you got bread in your pockets, so shut the fuck up about the fucking ducks.
>>545240512>Most of these animals would go extinct without us, because we bred them to be our food and clothing. It's literally science.Extinction of chickens is preferable to the status quo of billions of chickens in battery cages.>I hate the duck, and frankly, ducks don't give a fuck about you unless you got bread in your pockets, so shut the fuck up about the fucking ducks.You could say the same thing about a severely permanently irreversibly mentally handicapped human who can’t reason but it’d still be wrong to torture them
>>545240690>If you eat a duck, you will eat a person.No, because in those same 5000 years were optimizing animals as food, we decided to not eat other humans. And if you're specifically talking about torture, yes, torture is still a legitimate practice used by militaries around the world, but none of them use feeding tubes.
>>545235932Think of it this way.All animals YES ALL ANIMALS are fucked as soon as whites are extinct, and whites are going out fast and hard. The darkies and asians are going to submit whatever remains alive to tortures on a scale you've never seen before, all wildlife will be stamped out for the pure raw instinct of killing, religious retardation, or shameless consumption. Animals are as good as gone the second the last whites die out or are bred into the new mutt race. You might as well enjoy them in any way you can, anon. Eat them, kill them, it doesn't matter. You will get enjoyment out of it somehow, as opposed to the brown hordes who will slaughter them all without even understanding the joy that could have been had from it.
>>545235932finally a good threadthis one improves the worldeveryone other thread is: how can we continue replicating and promoting the feminist ideals that ruined our 5000 year old civilizaton? Oh and if you dont defend feminism you are a pajeet and incel show handspol has become tiresomeban foie gras and all other animal abuses we currently have going on in every single nation USA included
>>545235932>Ban Foie Gras!NoooooGood morning from France.We know it's cruel - we don't care. Melt that shit over a duck breast - the best thing I ever tasted.Anyway, try it 1st or don't.

>>545236300Can confirm, my guy, the sloppy toppy is top titty
>>545235932Just let the geese fucking eat naturally instead of literally pumping the shit down their throats, settle for slightly less good but perfectly humane foie gras, and the world can just keep going I mean have you tried just making the goose feed taste better No really did anyone ever fucking try that because most animal cruelty is born of laziness and cheapness rather than malice
>>545241796€100/kg - do the math
>>545235932Has anyone tried just mixing duck fat with a normal duck liver
>>545237260>Uhh cruelty to God's creatures is based because commies don't like it. Even if it's one of the few things they get right, I'd rather animals be tormented because bad people will be sad.You would 100% be a magatard goyslug past 2025 if you were born here you vile, retarded polack.
>>545241796>I mean have you tried just making the goose feed taste betterYeah, they can figure out how to make humans willingly morbidly obese with cheap shit food, but not ducks? But the issue is likely that it's peak profit potential to produce it plentifully and cheaply enough that it can be priced at the point where middle class nobodies can splurge for it. Billions of potential customers, instead of millions.
If you refuse to eat meat, I will kill three animals for every animal I eat, and leave the other two to spoil. Checkmate vegan, now you're killing more animals by not eating meat.
>>545241352French cuisine is ass tier. foie gras sucks.
>>545241887for the french the process of making the food is much more important than the actual result. Their food is over complex but underwhelming to eat.
>>545235932Anyone who doesn't vote for a ban is a sick piece of trash and deserves to be killed.
>>545236300Kek, OP went real quiet after this post.
>>545242664I may not be fond of French cuisine, but you're not the one to criticize it, considering how the only thing your nation contributed to cuisine is bland dry bread.>>545242698Again, you're not the one to talk, considering how anal Judaism is about food preparation.
>>545235932You can actually get geese to ruin their livers with voluntary girging, it's just more difficult. Foi gras just needs revulated a touch
>>545242828Don't forget pickled fish and stale donuts.
>>545243055I did not, because this stuff isn't jewish either, they stole it from Eastern European cuisine. Bagels in particular are just bubliks.
>>545243180The thieving bastards. Got to say I love plov - Mrs is from East European - ex-soviet country.I could it it every day
>>545242698This country was founded by and is still full of french people who hated that shit and decided they'd rather fuck chugs and eat sea bugs than live in france >>545242828legit criticism they're mostly known for jewish delis which is just a place that assembles sandwiches with no ham gefilte fish isn't bad but you can't really go wrong making a whitefish fishball especially if you deep fry the fucker
>>545235932That's it?! Looks like o got a career path. Thanks, OP. Foie Gras producing, here i come!
>>545237278What's next on your culinary bucket list? Dog in China?
we can ban foie gras if we ban niggers, let's ban niggers, then ban foie gras..!
>>545235932That's how we should feed jews before we slaughter them for food if they don't stop fucking with the world food supply.And yes, jews are edible.
>>545235932Who fucking about chickens man
