Despite the obvious distress caused
\nto the ducks and geese
\nwe see
\ngavage still practised for the last 15 days
\nand we
\nrealise force feeding is a cruel
\nand ugly way
\nof feeding birds to fatten them up
\nand really make them pay<\/p>\n
a pipe thrust down their throat
\nand corn pumped in
\n4 times a day
\nthis is disingenuous
\nin every single way
\nits roughly done
\nand hurts their throats
\nit makes them very sore
\nand to do this, repeatedly
\nno one should ignore<\/p>\n
the birds cry out in agony
\ntheir esophagus inflamed
\nsteatosis of the liver
\ngavage of course is blamed
\nthe liver swells at least 10 times
\nthe normal size and thus
\nit presses against the rib cage
\nand it causes a fuss<\/p>\n
and inhibits, the breathing
\nits uncomfortable at least
\nmanhandled by some wretched troll
\nwho delivers their feast
\na great ball of corn thrust down
\nevery single soul
\nand that’s about the limit
\nthat’s how they control<\/p>\n
and with an inflamed esophagus
\nand they are sick as well
\ntheir liver is now well diseased
\nand fatty its just hell
\nstanding in a tiny crate
\nfor almost 3 weeks they
\nmany of them die before
\nthe knife goes in okay<\/p>\n
its terrible its torture
\nthere are no words to say
\nbut only foie gras that comes from France
\nis treated in this way
\nand Fortnum and Mason’s foie gras
\noriginates from there
\nbut despite their clever wording
\nits still not very fair<\/p>\n
its not called fatty goose liver
\nnor ethical foie gras
\nnor humane in the title
\nclearly therefore they are
\nselling the gavage process
\nforce fed so horribly
\nand so it is misleading
\nreally now to see<\/p>\n
it saying in this shop
\nthat really influential souls
\nare drawn there in their hundreds
\nby royal command such goals
\nlaid down in previous centuries
\nbut surely all agree
\nthis is a high class retailer
\nwith the royalty<\/p>\n
8 types of foie gras
\non their books
\nit does appear to me
\nthey even have foie gras en croute
\nat pounds yes 320
\na vast expense but disregard
\nfor the production methods used
\nclearly these birds are badly treated
\nand terribly abused<\/p>\n
and their resultant liver
\nis a processor induced disease
\nit gave them such a savage time
\ntheir agony if you please
\ncannot be forgotten
\nand it should never be
\nallowed to happen
\nin this day and age
\nif you ask me<\/p>\n
despite a lot of protest
\npetitions and some more
\nlots of direct action
\nfrom Peta outside their store
\nthey have just ignored it all
\nand basically said up yours
\nits been banned in Israel and Turkey
\nmore old scores
\nyou cannot manufacture it
\nin the UK no
\nbut you can buy and sell it
\nand put it out on show<\/p>\n
so clearly its quite awful
\nif the UK won’t allow
\npeople here to make it
\nits factor isn’t wow
\nbut Fortnum and Mason can sell it
\nand sell it all the time
\n8 different types now on their shelves
\nthey just watch their profits climb<\/p>\n
ethics torture doesn’t seem to matter
\nto them, they
\ncarry on in their own time
\nin their own sweet way
\nignoring all the calls to end
\nthis evil saying they
\nhave sourced their foie gras with welfare
\nstandard that are high, anyway<\/p>\n
so its up to all the rich toffs
\nwho frequent this big store
\nto tell them right into their face
\nthat they wont come back no more
\nall the while they are flogging
\nthis cruelty and pain
\nand refuse to listen to the cries
\nwhich are seemingly in vain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
