6 Things You Can do to End Foie Gras Cruelty

1. Don’t Buy Foie Gras!
Foie gras is marketed as a fine food, but it is the product of extreme cruelty to animals. Refuse to buy foie gras products, and urge all your friends and family to do the same.

2. Tell Supermarkets to Stop Selling Foie Gras!
The fastest way to shut down cruel foie gras production is to close its markets. Supermarkets care about your business, so please contact these supermarket chains that sell foie gras:

Loblaw owns the Quebec-based Maxi and Provigo, both of which market foie gras. In addition, Loblaw’s stores in Ontario indicate they occasionally sell Foie Gras. Please contact the Chief Operating Officer of Loblaw, Mr. Dalton Phillips, and tell him you will not shop at Loblaws stores until he instructs his companies to stop selling foie gras.

3. Don’t Patronize Restaurants that Serve Foie Gras!
If you see foie gras on the menu of a restaurant, don’t give them your business! And make sure to tell the owner and chef of your decision. Tell them about this website so they can become informed about the cruel origins of the product they are selling.

4. Tell Canada’s Minister of Agriculture to Ban Foie Gras Production!
Please contact Canada’s Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Gerry Ritz – tell him you want Canada to ban foie gras production. In doing so, Canada would join Israel, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom – all of which prohibit the production of foie gras.
