Geoff Latham has organized a group titled, "In Defense of Foie Gras" whose mission statement declares that they are working to educate consumers about the "humane" treatment the ducks receive at foie gras production facilities. Politely contact Latham, and let him know that the only "blatant lies about the foie gras process" he references are lies coming from individuals creating a profit from animal suffering.

Benjamin Dyer
(503)221-3012

Humane advocates politely urged Mr. Dyer to remove foie gras from his offerings, but he refused. Mr. Dyer then wrote a letter to the Portland Tribune, saying the activists' outreach efforts are simply miseducating people, and that there "is a broad spectrum of how foie gras ducks are raised." Please write, and remind Mr. Dyer that ALL ducks raised for foie gras are cruelly force fed.

The Rosengarten Report is a magazine about haute cuisine for individuals in the food industry.

Please tell the editors the truth about foie gras, and tell them to stop promoting animal cruelty.

The Pew Commission provides additional, compelling and irrefutable data to prohibit these abuses. Read more.
