Selfridges Stops Foie Gras
Posh British retailer will no longer sell cruelty-tainted delicacy.
November 16, 2009
Selfridges, a high-end department store in the UK, will no longer sell foie gras, according to PETA. The animal-rights organization launched a campaign two years ago to urge the retailer to stop selling the food product, which is made from the liver of force-fed ducks and geese. Actor Roger Moore, best known for his role as James Bond, worked with PETA on the campaign, and paid for an anti-foie gras advertisement to be displayed outside of Selfridges. California passed legislation in 2004 making the production and sale of foie gras illegal in the state by 2012.
