King Charles Bans Foie Gras From All Royal Residences

King Charles has finally banned foie gras, according to the animal welfare organization PETA. King Charles first removed foie gras from his royal residences as far back as 2008, telling chefs not to use it.

PETA announced they would be sending the King some ‘faux gras’ made by vegan chef Alexis Gauthier.

Elisa Allen, PETA’s vice president, said, “Peta encourages everyone to follow the King’s lead and leave foie gras off the menu this Christmas and beyond.”

There is simply no way to ethically produce foie gras. The process is grotesque from start to finish. Male ducks and geese are trapped in tiny, unsanitary cages, meaning that their coats tend to end up matted in feces because they have no space to groom. Female ducklings, on the other hand, are tossed into a grinder and instantly ripped apart to their death, since their bodies cannot be used to make what humans have disgustingly deemed a “delicacy.”

According to PETA, Birds on foie gras farms can’t engage in natural behaviors, like flapping their wings, preening themselves, or swimming. This force-feeding causes the birds’ livers to become diseased and swell up to 10 times their normal size.
