Workers on foie gras farms shove tubes down birds’ throats and pump multiple pounds of fat and grain into the birds’ stomachs every day. This causes the birds’ livers to become painfully diseased and to swell to up to 10 times their normal size. In some cases, the birds’ organs rupture.

Investigations at foie gras farms across the U.S. and Europe have revealed sick, dying, and dead animals—some with holes in their necks from injuries sustained during force-feeding. Those who survive the force-feeding are violently killed, and their bloated livers are sold to consumers as foie gras.

California banned the sale of foie gras, but one restaurant is still trying to profit off of this cruelty and has even persuaded the clothing company Orisue to sponsor an event this Saturday. Contestants at the Playground restaurant will compete by shoving foie gras-topped hamburgers, called “Shut the Duck Up Burgers,” into their mouths in an eating contest.

Urge Orisue NOT to sponsor this heartless and illegal event immediately.





Petition Text

I am writing to respectfully urge you to withdraw Orisue’s sponsorship of the August 11 event at the Playground restaurant, in which the diseased livers of painfully force-fed birds will be served as part of a public spectacle, glorifying animal abuse. Investigations at foie gras farms across the U.S. and Europe have revealed sick, dying, and dead animals–some with holes in their necks from injuries sustained during force-feeding.

Not only is foie gras cruelly produced, it is also illegal in California. To promote foie gras in California is to thumb your nose at an animal protection law passed by the representatives of the citizens of California.

how far low has manunkind went,
if they can consider this form of
torture, an
event????
