This sounds disturbing, and I don't even know what "foie gras" is.  
Falls under the general category of "stop torturing animals to make  
our food cheaper".

     This sounds disturbing , and I don't even know what "foie gras" is. Falls
under the general  category of "stop torturing animals to make our food cheaper
".						    Help us ban cruel methods
used to produce foie gras	  Make a difference today .		    
The Michigan Legislature  is considering a bill that would ban foie gras that
has been produced  in an inhumane manner.	    Dear=A0Nicole,    Michigan
House Rep. Fred Miller has introduced  legislation to prohibit the inhumane
practice of force -feeding birds and to=A0ban the buying or selling of foie
gras when it  has been produced in this inhumane manner.    In producing some
foie gras, ducks and geese are confined to  small pens, and have metal pipes
shoved down their throats as handlers  pour in cups of food twice a day. This
inhumane process causes a  diseased liver condition called "hepatic lipidosis,"
in which the liver  swells to approximately 10 times its normal size. Many
ducks and geese  do not even make it to slaughter, but die from ruptured
throats or bacterial  infections, or suffocate on their own vomit.   The bill
would not ban foie gras -- it would instead ban the  selling or buying of foie
gras made in this inhumane manner .    American Humane strongly  supports this
bill.	    Let your representative know this inhumane	treatment must not
continue --	 support House Bill =A04871	 today!       Click here     to
learn more about  this legislation.	 Click here to	take action now!
