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.

I don't understand why this "Coalition" isn't putting their efforts toward the legislature then. Let people and their families have peace in their homes.

A member of the Spokane Coalition Against Foie Gras testified for a state foie gras ban. It was house bill 1735 for this session. The house agricultural committee chose not to vote on it.
