Help us ban cruel methods used to produce foie gras

Make a difference today.

The M= ichigan Legislature is considering a bill that would ban foie gras that has= been produced in an inhumane manner.

Dear Nicole,

Michigan House Rep. Fred Miller has introduced le= gislation to prohibit the inhumane practice of force-feeding birds and to&n= bsp;ban the buying or selling of foie gras when it has been produced in thi= s inhumane manner.=20
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 o= f food twice a day. This inhumane process causes a diseased liver condition= called "hepatic lipidosis," in which the liver swells to approxi= mately 10 times its normal size. Many ducks and geese do not even make it t= o slaughter, but die from ruptured throats or bacterial infections, or suff= ocate 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 th= is bill. Let your representa= tive know this inhumane treatment must not continue -- support House Bill 4871 today!
