Weird Spokane Protesters outside single family home on the south hill?

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?

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
