Foie gras production involves force-feeding ducks and geese to enlarge their livers, a practice banned in dozens of countries due to welfare concerns.
The scientific evidence clearly demonstrates that force-feeding causes pain, stress, and physiological harm to ducks and geese. The animals show avoidance behaviors toward feeders and develop esophageal lesions. Banning this product represents one of the most straightforward farm animal welfare improvements available to legislators.
