Blue Room Protests/ Is foie gras animal cruelty?

[feargal 21]

I don't want to have to bring up the pork scratchings incident again

Which part of a pig is it's "scratchings"? Similarly, pepperami - "it's a bit of an animal", but which bit?

The good bits...

any veggies going to the meal?

 

if so, you should be boycotting it methinks.

 

Only a sick person would eat the damn stuff - its immoral.

They don't force feed it to you when you go in, as far as I know. There's a lot I don't like about the 'meat industry' in general, but I wouldn't avoid going to a place that serves it. It's a matter of personal choice.

Any right thinking person should have a problem with traditionaly produced foie gras tbh ... but it's not the restaurant's fault. If people stopped eating it, they wouldn't serve it ...

 

Unfortunately to stay in business, places have to stock what customers want. The customer is always right after all

 

It only seems to be the very high end restaurants who serve Foie Gras, with chef's who have more than enough ability to avoid it if they want to. Its the restaurant's responsibility to not serve it - customers go to such restaurants to be led by the menu, not dictate what's on it.

 

If KFC were serving Foie Gras, it would have been banned ages ago.

 

Is that what the protests were about? Did that question get answered?

[TwoFour 10]

They are clearly morons who should just not bother if they don't like it.

 

or just people expressing an opinion and asking people to think about what they are eating...

Ha Ha Ha....

 

Just because you don't like meat, it doesn't mean others can't enjoy it.

I suspect people are capable of making their own decisions when deciding what they will and won't eat and what restaurants they care to patronise.

 

If they were protesting outside of any restaurant I was going to, I would order it on purpose.

 

The Blue Room should make a promotion out of it - half price offer on Fois Gras when protests are taking place.

 

If they have so much free time on their hands you'd think they'd do something more constructive than mither people about fat ducks.

ooh you rebel

 

They're not morons just for protesting though. I'm sure they're not stopping people going in are they?

 

I actually like foie gras and veal....in fact I think it's veally nice

 

 

OK OK I'll get me coat

Is it a fur coat?

Fool!

 

It is more than just meat, look at the link posted above - it is prolonged cruelty!

 

I just hope the veggies on this meal do not feel too guilty.
