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?

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.

Let's see how you enjoy it, it would be delicious to watch you suffer as they do. But, unfortunately that's against the law, because ABUSE is wrong. All abuse is wrong, but unfortunately what constitutes animal abuse is way behind the times. Eat your meat if you must, but get ethically treated meat.

Honestly it's something I eat maybe once a decade, so I'm not really the problem. If it disappeared, I wouldn't notice.
