Ariane Daugin, what a disgrace to the female gender and to the human race you are to find anyway whatsoever to defend abusing an animal. What emotional deadening and arrogance to assume how these animals feel or that we can eat them at all. You are a f**king emotional cripple you are. You are disgusting.

Forcibly rupturing the esophagus of a bird with a thick metal pipe is hardly an expression of love. If that's her idea of affection, I'd hate to be on the other end of that lovin'. The bottom line is this - foie gras is DISEASED tissue. It's made by purposefully inducing illness and disease in animals. These animals are so ill from liver disease that they can barely walk. Their livers swell to ten times the normal size because they are bloated with diseased tissue. Should we really trust the people who profit from this cruelty when they tell us that these animals enjoy their torment?

Just like they always try justify when it affects their bottom line. It's absolutely inhumane and not to mention totally unhealthy. I don't care about supporting industries that hurt living beings and are unhealthy. Don't care about whether tobacco industry dries up either. Get a conscience and start doing something positive for society.

This is a RESOLUTION. A resolution is nothing but a statement of the Council's position on a subject and has no legal weight. But, hat's off to Avella -- first trying to save the horses, now the ducks. I think mice and ants are next.

A very one-sided viewpoint. Here is what the Humane Society has to say about force feeding: http://www.hsus.org/farm/camp/ffa/ Many countries in the European Union aleady have bans against this inhumane practice.

I love this totally irrelevant (and false) comment by Daguin: "When a mother bird wants to show her love for her baby bird, she puts her beak down as far as possible into her baby's neck (esophagus) and then pukes in it -- this is how she feeds it." Hello? We're talking about geese and ducks, not songbirds. Ducklings are born precocial-- that is, they hatch with the immediate ability to walk on their own and feed themselves. No mother duck in the history of the world has ever shoved her bill down a duckling's throat and "puke[d] in it." Maybe Daguin shouldd take her own advice and learn "the scientific facts" instead of spewing lies.
