Kudos to Takoma Park council for stand on foie gras, #3

Gazette
July 9, 2008

Kudos to the Takoma Park City Council for passing a resolution opposing the production and sale of foie gras (‘‘City says ‘non’ to foie gras,” July 2).

With the passage of this resolution, Takoma Park’s City Council has acted on behalf of those who can’t speak for themselves — the 150,000 ducks force-fed, tortured and slaughtered on America’s two foie gras farms every year.

The Takoma Park City Council should be commended for recognizing what many Americans already know — that foie gras is animal abuse too abhorrent to condone.
