5 Reasons to Give Up Duck (& Foie Gras)

Posted on September 23, 2015

Foie gras (French for “fatty liver”) is the product of extreme animal cruelty. Factory farms produce it by force feeding ducks so much that their livers become diseased and enlarged. This causes a tremendous amount of suffering and can make it difficult for the birds to walk and breathe normally.

Few people would want to eat any part of a diseased animal, but in the case of foie gras, consumers eat the diseased organ itself.

Foie gras producers shove pipes down ducks’ throats to force feed them far more than they would ever eat. The force feeding can cause bruises, lacerations, and sores. The duck’s livers may grow to ten times the normal size.

Some foie gras factory farms cram birds into small, filthy cages where they can’t turn around or spread their wings.

2. When you pay for foie gras you pay for the slaughter of ducks, and vice versa

3. Ducks can become so attached to their human friends that they become depressed when they are absent

4. Mother ducks are very protective over their young, factory farming is very stressful for them

5. You can make Vegan foie gras and duck recipes without the cruelty

1. The average cage for a chicken in factory farms is smaller than your standard iPad.

3. Because of genetic manipulation, 26% to 31% of factory farmed chickens suffer from severe leg abnormalities.

10 Reasons to Give Up Beef

Posted on September 22, 2015

6. Cows are separated from their babies (who are later killed) in slaughterhouses and research shows they grieve this

7. One pound of meat uses 16x the resources (vegetation) we would need to eat the food directly

Posted on September 22, 2015

1. Milk is probably even worse for you than meat:

2. Cows have to be pregnant or just have given birth in order to lactate- because of this, cows are put on “rape racks” and forcefully inseminated every 9 months or so.

3. If they baby that is born is a male, they will kill him immediately for veal.

4. If the baby is female, the cycle will repeat until she is too old to give milk- at which point she will be sentenced to death.

5. Milk doesn’t have to be cruel, there are many Vegan “dairy” products to choose from.

5 Reasons to Give Up Eggs

Posted on September 22, 2015 Updated on September 22, 2015

2. Scientific studies show eggs are 2/3 as bad for you as smoking.

3. In the wild, chickens lay around 10-12 eggs a year. The egg Industry forces chickens by chemicals and genetic modification to lay more than 300 eggs a year.
