Hideous New Foie Gras Footage

Written by PETA

Posted 07-16-2007

The Canadian group Global Action Network, in collaboration with Farm Sanctuary, just released an undercover investigation of Canada’s largest foie gras farm, Elevages Perigord. It contains some of the most horrible cruelty I have ever witnessed, and it is almost impossible to get through it without ruining your day. Which is why it should be mandatory viewing for anyone who’s ignorant enough to eat this stuff. There’s some more information on foie gras and the steps PETA is taking to get it banned here.

If you want to see firsthand what happens on foie gras farms—or if you’re a foie gras lover who urgently needs some education about the horrors that you’re supporting—I’ve posted the video below.

I didn't see it I don't torture myself with that. I have plenty of knowledge with what I always read. I never see that kind of stuff I am too sensitive and have tendency to depression so that doesn't help. I think that this video like somebody wrote should be posted in any newstation for more people to see.

I did not know what fois gras was until I watched the video. If I see it on a menu at any restaurant I am going to tell the owners how the animals are treated. I wish there was more I could do. I think this video should be posted on myspace along with the one about the guys who use stray dogs and cats as shark bait. I cannot believe how ignorant this world is becoming. I saw a huge truck the other day full of small chickens over 10000 easily some were dead and some were being squished in these small cages. I wanted to run the huge truck off the road and free all the chickens but I had my 3 year old son and 2 of my dogs in the car so I had to think of them but I told my son he needs to grow up respecting and caring for all living creatures. Hopefully we can raise better leaders for the future who care more about the ethical treatment of animals.

Craig I understand your anger I feel the same way. But most humans are basically selfish and believe themselves to be superior to the poor creatures that we love and advocate for. It is also about the almighty dollar. I also think as you do that if these people would go through what animals endure everyday every second they would certainly be screaming for compassion and for mercy to be extended to them!

How terrible to watch..it is just so sick!!! I couldn't see it through. I will try to get it shown on danish television because here in Denmark were it's forbidden to produce fois gras but not to import it an sell it in supermarkets and in restuarents. They import fois gras from France and Spain here in Denmark..too bad.. Will start a new campaign against it with my animal rigths group here in Denmark.

I'm fucking tired of this shit! If I would have been present during this I would have come unfucking glued on these people. The more this kind of shit goes on in the world the more I am disgusted and ashamed that I even share some of the same genetic material as these useless fucks. And to the people in this video you better get serious about a career change. You are an embarrassment to the human species you are the poster children for abortion. As you can probably tell I have ZERO respect for these kinds of people. If it were up to me and they better thank god it isn't I would subject these individuals to the same abusive treatment. I'm sure they would not enjoy having a pipe rammed down their throat and pumped full of food several times a day seven days a week 365 day a year. To me these people are lower than pedophiles. They abuse the most defenseless beings on the planet I'm sorry if I have offended some people with my language but I have to tell you it's the only way I can express my extreme disgust for these people. People need to start hopping on the fucking clue wagon animals are living beings they're sentient have emotions etc. They are NOT inanimate things to be owned or destroyed. And some people wonder why I have ZERO faith in the human race. We are NOT going to evolve intellectually till we get out of the dark ages as to how humans view and treat 'animals'.

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
