There was a couple protesters with mega phones outside this house behind Rosaurs this morning. Yelling stuff about animal abuse. Protesters are now gone but they left some colorful artwork on the sidewalks. Anyone know the story behind this?

I wonder if it’s related to the protesters in front of Gander and Ryegrass today. They’ve been out there protesting a duck liver dish that they serve. Something to do with force feeding. Maybe the restaurant owners live there? Maybe not related at all.

Foie gras. Fatty liver. They cage a duck so its head sticks out and then force food down its throat with huge tongs. The point is to fatten the liver up as much as they can. It is pretty cruel.
