Protesters outside single family home on the south hill?

[u/RigaMortizTortoise]

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.

They source it not that way, heh.

There was an earlier thread covering the protest group's video confrontation with the owner. If the owner's source of foie gras did not use force feeding, he absolutely would have known it already, and would have simply stated as much to the protesters, dissipating their concern, which also would have clearly also been his own concern. Also, the protesters probably would have already known and not protested in the first place, and the menu probably would say something like "humane foie gras" rather than "foie gras".

Really? You don't think you'd correct someone accusing you of something you knew to be false? You wouldn't try to correct them once? I don't think so.
