The World's First Force-Feeding Demo

Written by PETA

I think I've talked before about how amazing PETA Germany is at coming up with stuff that's totally out of left field. They're literalists, when it comes to demonstrations, and the results are often indescribably compelling. Faced with the problem of how to convey to people just how gruesome the force-feeding of ducks for foie gras is, the Germans simply brushed aside all objections and created the world's first-ever Force-Feeding Demo. Great work, PETA G. You guys rule.

Glenda Brosman: Ok, people have to eat. But don't you think we must do all that we can so that the animals suffer less, or not suffer at all??? Wild animals don't have any alternative than to hunt, but we have! And I am not a vegetarian (yet) but as a person that can think and choose, I choose not to eat things like this because there are alternatives. Please people... stop being so selfish!

PALEESE!!!!!!! banning goose liver!!!! People have eaten this for centuries! PETA is a wonderful organization at some points. But if they had their way..... We would never eat meat again. They should form an organization to stop all life in the wild from stalking and killing their prey. This is absurd!!!!!

Neeraj. Im an american.and im not forcing a developing country to spray their crops with pesticides. also organic food is pricey here for a reason simply because of the small supply versus the demand and because of the resources of the supplier who may be just a small operator.

I have an even better idea for a protest for foie gras. Okay it's a well documented that psycho chef Gordon Ramsay serves foie gras at his restaurants it's also well documented that he gets annoyed very easily when people question him and it's also well documented that ducks often choke on their own vomit after being force fed so I'm considering feeding myself grain then throwing it up heaps of times into a water bottle then going up to him with a camera crew with me and saying "Did you know that ducks often choke on their own vomit in foie gras production?" and throw my own barf in his face and say "Now you can too!" and get away on a segway! Hoorahh!

Stop bonsai! This horrific "art" of stunting tying and generally torturing trees has been propagated throughout the world! We must act against it preferably before I die of starvation because apparently eating animals is cruelas is eating plants. Oh and don't forget those pesticides that those horrible starving people of Asia and africa useeat ONLY overpriced organic americangrown food if you DO choose to be cruel and actually...eat. PS Does keeping Mexican guy who trims my front yard off healthcare count as cruelty? Apparently geese and fish count for more than humans to some people.
