Even California gets it right once in a while

[donttread]

I have hunted most of my life and still fish. I'm rural and understand that pork and beef does not grow on grocery store shelves and often shake my head at the animal rights crowd. I am a meat eater!

But apparently California banned force feeding geese and ducks in order to make a snobby dish I cannot pronounce but have long heard of. If memory serves, they give the bird a fatty liver to make the liver taste better.
Anyway, it's ridiculous and always has been, I quit eating Veal for similar reasons.
When a true farmer raises an animal for food it does not involve the equivalent of torture or a miserable existence.
Apparently, California banned the practice over a decade ago and the "farmers" can't seem to get over it. Their third challenge was declined by state SC.
What do you think?

I like foie gras. A lot.

Let's put it this way, if they cared about babies and humans, then their save the animals cry would be reasonable to discuss.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I don't eat meat but I don't begrudge those who do. I think livestock should be raised humanely.

I believe in priorities.

Clean up the Homeless and Criminals before you worry about the animals. Use your resources on priorities.

I don't want to hear them bragging about saving the goose while they ignore the humans.

Save the goose but kill the baby. Only in the minds of "progressives" can those two concepts live side by side.

Look I am not PETA, I just support this law and still think (despite the article and the industries statement) that growing organs to unnatural size is inhumane. I'm not sold by the fact that the ducks still wanted food. But I'm not organizing a movement or anything. I'll just avoid it Like I do with veal, Don't believe I have ever eaten in anyway . Although giving California credit for something seemed novel.

Agreed. Many years ago I had the French fois gras and it was fantastic and the humane domestic way doesn't compare at all. So now I quit all of it. The French fois gras was still the best thing I ever tasted, with maybe one exception.

Save the animal, kill the baby....That's normal.
