Dufour said that foie gras ducks and geese are treated much more humanely than other animals consumed for food because of the controversy surrounding it. VFAR’s Dominguez believes the opposite is true and argued that if he fed a dog or cat until the animal suffered liver or digestive failure, he would be arrested for animal cruelty.
He also balks at the notion that, since the foie gras industry is small, animal activists should overlook their concerns with it and focus on factory poultry farms. “We go after all types of animal cruelty,” Dominguez said. “This idea that we don’t work on other issues—it’s laughable. It’s like asking, ‘Why would you work on breast cancer when you have children dying of leukemia?’”If New York City prohibits foie gras, the new law could be hard to enforce.

CivilEats I can't wait to see it disappear. Who eats that stuff anymore anyway - people like Mnuchin and his wife Cruella? They won't starve if it's banned.
CivilEats I support farmers but these farmers need to find something else to 'farm'. Causing disease to animals by force-feeding them then killing them so that rich people can be happy is just sort of sick.
CivilEats Ban it. Forcing them to have liver failure is just wrong.
CivilEats Maybe Foie farmers can find a crop to fatten up instead.
