After receiving letters from PETA describing the cruelty of foie gras production and posting an action alert on our Web site, the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), in Massachusetts, promised to cancel plans to serve the duck liver at its first annual Wine and Food Classic. The BSO also dumped D’Artagnan, Inc., one of North America’s leading purveyors of foie gras, as a sponsor and exhibitor at the event.

“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?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
