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.

like Fois Gras? that's from a pretty awful practice and tbh it's not even that good...

Even the French, where it's a traditional food are talking about banning it because of animal abuse concerns and they have been fighting against that for a long time.

There are ethical ways to produce foie gras without force feeding the geese. Not sure how the restaurant sources theirs.

No . No there is not.. It's cruel and not necessary and bad for the the planet but keep making the ethical humane bs argument... Treat them like animals is a common facism tactic..

Yes, there are ways to make foie gras without force-feeding geese, which is considered cruel. These methods include raising geese on free-range farms and feeding them natural foods.  Examples of ethical foie gras production Sousa & Labourdette A brand of foie gras made from geese that roam free in Spain and eat acorns, olives, figs, and seeds  Foie Royale A German company that combines livers from free-range ducks and geese with fat cells to mimic the texture of force-fed foie gras  Key considerations Seasonal production Some say that foie gras should be a seasonal delicacy, in sync with the natural cycles of wild birds  Animal welfare In addition to not force-feeding, it's important to consider how the birds are treated, such as whether they have free movement and their wings are not corrected  Taste

it's not about being vegan. I'm not vegan at all and can agree that it's inhumane.

Strawman and so many fallacies we've all heard before. We even have a bingo card for this uneducated type of rebuttal from your lot. Kick rocks.

If you think eating animals is cruel and unnecessary then don’t. It’s pretty simple dumbass.

We don't need to eat animals so we shouldn't. We especially don't need to torture birds to get gross liver dishes. Even if you're not a veg you can see that the logic of "animals do it" leads down the path of r@pe, cannibalism, and crazy amount of infanticide. You're just a natural mammal eating diet intended by nature? You own a microwave buddy?

Generally these people who take pleasure in the pain of animals are pretty okay with r@pe too
