What is good for the goose is good for the gander

Goose (pl.geese) is a large web-footed bird, the size of which is between a duck and a swan. It is also known as a female and its male is known as gander.

Its plural, geese, should not be confused with 'geezer' which is a slang for old person or creature, not a nice word to call an old man like me.

I am helping to pass this message from an article forwarded by Bayi, which would put off (it put me off, even though I have never tried it) more people from eating this, just like the campaign against having shark's fin soup.

Hopefully, both goose and gander can live happily ever after!


Foie Gras...let's stop eating this dish!
Foie Gras means "Fat Liver".

It's a luxury menu item that originates from France. But this dish comes from FORCE FEEDING a goose to make it develop a FATTY LIVER.

Let's see the source of this "wonderful dish".

The cages enclosing the geese are so small that they force the geese to stay in one position to avoid using energy, thus converting all food into fat.

They are unable to resist any forced feeding. Their life is a never-ending tale of sadness.

They are forced to eat until they are dead or until their bodies are bloated with food up to their throat.

Not only their mouths hurt. Their throats also hurt. Their stomachs ache from all the food they don't need to eat. Their legs are bloated with fat; they are not allowed to sleep and they are allowed no exercise at all. They never get to see the skies or the rivers, their natural habit!

Stop being selfish. Stop eating Foie Gras!!!
STOP THE DAILY TORTURE AND CRUELTY TO THE POORGEESE.

STOP THE DEMAND AND THE SUPPLY WILL END.
AND THE TORTURE AND SUFFERING WILL END.


A metal pipe is passed through the throat to the goose's stomach ...even if it does not want to eat anything.

The geese are forced to eat.. even if they do not desire to. This will make the liver bigger and fatter.

The sadness is reflected in their eyes.


Their legs are bloated from standing all the time. There is no opportunity to sleep because they will be caught to be forced-fed again.

As you can see... the food is overflowing the mouth!

Those that survive have inflamed anuses and there's blood in their shit!

And all the cruelty is to get the beautiful and white liver that becomes unusually big like this....
They come as liver - canned from abroad.

After the pictures, would you eat foie gras again?
