Foie Gras Horror

To the Chinese, there are very little that they would not eat. The Westerners especially dog lovers are horrified to know that Chinese (especially those in China) eat dog meat! I guess every culture has its own special favourite food which is deemed offensive to others.

Never in my life have I eaten Foie Grass which is Fattened Goose Liver and it is a delicacy in Europe. In order to obtain this Fat Liver, the poor Geese suffered to death to provide the Europeans their passion in eating Foie Gras. Below are a series of photos showing how Geese are made to grow Fat Livers and eventually they die in the process. I hope after you have seen these photos you will be put off eating Foie Grass!

Foie Gras

Well Folks! that's how you get Foie Gras! As much as the Chinese love for Shark's Fins caused the cruel death of many sharks, Foie Grass also caused the cruel deaths of hundreds of thousands of Geese! Perhaps it's time to consider avoiding certain food that caused cruelty to animals for as the saying goes when there is no demand the killing stops! For this reason, my daughter Dawn strongly objected to having Sharks Fins as a usual Chinese Wedding Dinner Dish when Sharlene got married!

    OMG! that’s very torturing! I don’t eat goose liver but I still like shark fin soup… ;-)
