Foie Gras Protest Portland, OR June 26, 2010.avi

A large group of activists protested outside Beast, a Portland restaurant that serves foie gras. The activists then moved over to Le Pigeon, another Portland restaurant that serves foie gras. Organizer Kayla Hanson said that she had contacted the manager of the restaurant to request that foie gras be taken off the menu, and that foie gras was taken off the menu at one time, and then put back on. Several restaurants in Portland still serve foie gras, which is the engorged liver of a goose or duck who is force fed until the liver is enlarged enough for consumption, and then killed.

People do what they feel is important to them. I hope that you are one who is acting on your convictions. The two issues go together, we are all connected. and we are all animals. If people were to respect animals more, they may very well respect their fellow humans more. Albert Schwetizer said it best: "Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace."

THIS is the best thing they can find to protest?? Jesus Christ.... Fucking amazing. Personally, i'd be stepping out the front door throwing handfulls of raw caul fat at them. Idiots.

Harassing restaurants and their patrons for eating foie gras (or beef, or horse, or etc., etc., etc.) doesn't rank very high on my list of 'must do' activities to demonstrate my convictions. Of course, I'm an omnivore. Notwithstanding, Bulldog is right: go out and help people if you really want to better society as there is plenty that needs doing on that front.

You know, if these people put their efforts towards something like.... Oh, I don't know, helping PEOPLE... society MIGHT start to better itself and things like foie gras might not exist anymore...

People can't even help one another, and you want them to respect another animal?

The best time I ever had on YouTube is when I blocked "raultalbot7" from trolling on my channel
