"The ruling is a long-overdue victory—not just for ducks and geese subjected to force-feeding, but for the democratic process itself."
"No civilized society should tolerate the force-feeding of animals like this. And certainly a city that prides itself on compassion and progress should not allow such products to be sold in its restaurants and markets."
"The product that results—marketed as a luxury delicacy—is quite literally diseased liver created through deliberate cruelty."
"The Council's message was clear: Extreme animal cruelty and the product of that abuse has no place in New York City."
A New York appellate court upheld the city's ban on foie gras, marking a significant victory for animal rights and the democratic process. The City Council voted in 2019 to prohibit the sale of foie gras, which is produced through the cruel practice of force-feeding ducks and geese. This ruling reflects a commitment to compassion and progress, emphasizing that extreme animal cruelty has no place in New York City. The ban aims to protect animals from severe suffering and organ damage caused by this practice.
