Kate Winslet Exposes Foie Gras Cruelty

Oscar-winner Kate Winslet stars in the critically-acclaimed Steve Jobs and follows in the footsteps of other great actors, including Sir Roger Moore, in urging consumers and retailers to drop foie gras. She narrates this PETA exclusive video revealing undercover investigation footage of the cruelty that is endured by ducks and geese who are abused for this delicacy of despair.

Foie gras, which literally translates to “fatty liver,” is made from the engorged livers of ducks and geese. Kate describes, “To produce foie gras, ducks and geese are force-fed enormous amounts of grain and fat, which causes their livers to swell to many times the normal size.”

When these feeding pipes are jammed into the birds, their throats are often punctured and the birds can suffer from severe tissue damage and internal bleeding.

Help Kate spread the word that foie gras is a recipe for torture and share her video with everyone you know!
