Why is it cruel to eat foie gras? 12 kilograms of grains are force-fed every day, and a 30cm iron tube is inserted into the esophagus
We all know the three top delicacies in the world - caviar and foie gras and truffles. What everyone often hears about is foie gras. Many friends may have the same questions as me when they hear it for the first time - is there anything strange about foie gras? Isn't it different from the geese raised at home? It's really different.
Have you ever seen foie gras weighing 2 pounds? Many people have probably heard that eating foie gras is very cruel. Some people may also question, isn’t it cruel to eat other animals? No, the natural cycle of life and a life of being cruelly abused are not the same concept at all.
The top-quality foie gras is 10 times the size of our common foie gras, but in order to quickly obtain huge foie gras, this process can be described as cruel. The goose selected for foie gras is a specialized breed, and when a goose is 12 months old, the breeder will gradually increase the goose's food intake every day. It's almost like stuffing the geese. Three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, a 30cm long iron pipe is inserted directly into the depth of the goose's esophagus for force-feeding. The maximum feeding can reach 12kg each time.
It is almost always in an undigested state, and is fed another meal, which keeps stretching the liver, forming a huge fatty liver.
Every life should be respected, not treated cruelly.
