The humanitarian, actor and Unicef Ambassador Roger Moore is so horrified at the 'revolting' cruelty of foie gras production he is calling for it to be banned
To create this luxury foodstuff, ducks and geese are crammed into tiny cages where they cannot move at all and are force-fed every three hours with 4lb of corn mixture which swells inside them — a process which sometimes causes their beaks to break and ruptures their innards.
In some farms they 'live pluck' their feathers at the same time.
Israel has led the way and already banned foie gras, insisting that 'it caused unacceptable suffering and is therefore in violation of the law'.
Now it is time for the rest of the world to follow their lead.
