Foie Gras Duck 'Rescue'
The force-feeding of ducks and geese to fatten their livers to make the gourmet
delicacy of foie gras has always been controversial, but now some ducks are
being "rescued." Four members of an ad-hoc animal rights group called
the Animal Protection and Rescue League allegedly took four ducks and shot
video of the condition of 1,500 other ducks at the Sonoma Foie Gras farm near
Stockton, Calif., the Los Angeles Times reports. When Sonoma Foie Gras owner
Guillermo Gonzalez was told about the break-in, he said "if ducks were
stolen and thieves are identified," he would press charges, the Times
says. "It's a matter of principle, it's not about four ducks. It's that
they are abusing my rights as both a businessman and as a human being,"
says Gonzalez.
