Portland could be the next municipality to ban the sale of foie gras — a cruelly made product produced by force-feeding young ducks and geese until their livers swell to eight times their natural size.
A proposed ordinance would prohibit Portland restaurants and retailers from selling any product made through the force-feeding of ducks or geese.
Urge your City Commissioners to prioritize this issue and introduce an anti-foie gras ordinance early this year. Remember, personalizing your message will help it stand out.
