Reply to comment by spahlo in State Orders NYC To Drop Foie Gras Sales Ban, Says Ban Violates NY Agricultural Law by Gato1980

I don’t disagree with you there but banning excessive cruelty before slaughter is more achievable than banning meat altogether. Just because it ends up dead either way isn’t a good excuse to tolerate unnecessary cruelty before the end.

Of course, but it can be made without cruelty and it is currently being done so where’s the issue? Hudson valley farms is a prime example of this and other ethical sources exist as well. Too many people pointing to past practices as if they are the common standard of today for their justification behind banning foie.

Hudson valley farms absolutely still uses force-feeding machines with tubes though so I’m not sure what you mean by ethical.
