I would be happy if we could just ban battery cages to start. I can't think of a more horrible fate aside from being a foie gras goose or a veal calf.

  Most foie gras is from ducks these days.
  • pxndxx 1y ago
    Is this an important distinction? Goose or duck they suffer the same.
    • leptons 1y ago
      Ducks are assholes.

  Foie-gras geese and ducks are free range, at least in France. That's a different story when you buy the cheap eastern european ones.

    is the forced feeding until their liver balloons with fat free range too or...
    • nartho 1y ago
      So you think that free range geese who are forced fed have a worth living condition that the vast majority of animals raised for their meat ?
      • GeoAtreides 1y ago
        I think force feeding geese is so horrible it _almost_ doesn't matter if they're free range or not. It's like saying a torture victim that gets water boarded daily at least gets 10 minutes of exercise every day.
