Foie Gras Lawsuit

Foie gras turns out to be dirty in more ways than one. Not only is this process by which birds are force fed by tubes being rammed down their throats dirty, but so is the incredible amount of waste from this cruel practice that allegedly fouls up New York’s Middle Mongaup River. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is taking a stand against it. HSUS is charging Hudson Valley Foie Gras, the nation’s largest foie gras factory farm, with over 1,100 violations of the federal Clean Water Act, and a federal court in Manhattan has cleared the way for this lawsuit. Congrats to HSUS for digging up some dirt and taking this foie gras giant to task.
