What is love baby dont hert me dont hert me no more

Foie gras



I've seen a documentary on foie-gras https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjQWwhxz5rQ
That is the link lalalal
So
I am now reviewing this because I think it is interesting and it involves poop.

This is the summary:

Foie-Gras was banned in California because some animal rights activists thought "that the practice of force-feeding was wrong and resembled Nazi holocaust" without even doing a research on the matter. Foie-Gras is an ancient practice it can be tracked down to Egypt and now it is common in France. In The US, it is considered a delicacy. So the animal activists achieved what they wanted an open slide to more laws about meat banning. In the documentary they show up every aspect and opinion of the people involved; politicians, a farmer in France, activist lawyers, 2 veterinarians, etc. It explains that the ducks and geese do not have a gag reflex because their esophagus is wide and different from humans. They show that the liver is increased in size but not harming the ducks since the ducks can store fat as energy in their livers, and foie-gras farmers take advantage of that natural aspect.
The only farmer affected by the ban was a Salvadorian Man, that escaped El Salvador to find a better life in california as a duck farmer. He was the only farmer in the state and the only affected. His business was shut down. He doesn't appears in the documentary because he politely declined the interview.
It is shown an interview were the Senator with much more influence on the bill was very rude and felt threatened, even though the reporter was polite and did not ask  questions with an agenda.
The senators that voted against foie-gras never visited the farm. Only one visited the farm and he said that they were clean and their practices were according to the GPA.

At the beginning the activist show that the ducks have diarrhea and that rats are biting their anuses and that they are mistreated. The veterinarian said that she did not saw that in the farm and we may realize that the videos shown by the activists are staged. At the end they show a farm in France with their practices and it is not a cruel practice.
The bill was revoked by the Federal Government in January of 2015 (this year). I think this was right. Politics are really just a tool for people to do stuff that may or may not be better for the market and people and poop overall.
The reporter ends the documentary saying that it is not a cruel practice but if you are against every animal practice then you will be against foie gras forever.

And so I think that this is just bullcrap duck poop from the activist perspective they just want to ban everything and they do not follow science, so fek them .
It is a really interesting practice and we should learn from it.

The poop in the ducks is gross so here is a drawing hahaha
I want to try foie-gras after this.
