No More Fat Goose Liver

If you're rich and live in Chicago, you can no longer dine on Foie Gras. What is that exactly? Its a fat goose or duck liver.

Mmmm... sounds tasty right?

It is being banned because it is inhumane to make.

See, the little birdies live happy content lives while their babies. they just get their wings clipped so they can't fly away. No harm. No pain. Then, at the end of their lives, they are shoved in a box and force fed to make their livers extra fat.

I've never had foie gras. Don't like the sound of it either. But STUPID BAN!!!

There is nothing humane about the treatment of animals. That is why they are animals and we are HUMAN. My cat is 19, and she can't drive or vote. I make her piss and shit in sand, and expect her to bury it. I expect her to drink out of a bowl, placed neatly on the floor, next to her food dish. I feed her the exact same nasty ass smelling food every day. She sleeps on the floor, or a couch, or at the foot of my bed. She walks around the house on all fours naked as the day she was born.

Does that sound humane? Cat's pretty damn happy though. I'm sure she'd be really pissed if I tried to make her eat with a spoon and wear diapers because she won't use the toilet.

Is grinding up a dead cows lips and asshole to make hot dogs humane? No, but damn tasty if you ask me.

Is leaving a cute baby seal pup out on the ice to be eaten by a polar bear humane? No, but Simba will start singing about the circle of life if you protest.

Animals are not humans. Stop applying human standards to critters people. They are there for our use. If its for food, companionship, or whatever.

If you don't like it, don't do it. Don't buy foie gras. Don't wear leather or fur. Be a veggie killer. Whatever. Just don't try and stop me from eating any sort of yummy critter, or having a cuddly one as a pet.

i disagree with you on that one. it's one thing to treat your animal like an animal, but don't they shove a funnel and tube down the duck's throat in order to shove massive amounts of food in there? then, the liver grows so big the abdomen swells. i think that seems excessive just so some hoity toity people can get off on spending a lot of money to eat a morsel. they should just use regular sized livers and charge more for it since there's less of it. it'll make everyone happy.

I've heard prairie dogs are a tasty treat in South America. Now those are cute critters!

Any football predictions for the upcoming season??

leah - actually, rumor has it, the tastiest critter in the world is the guinea pig.

and no football predictions yet. Well, I predict Rex Grossman is gonna be sitting on his ass, or injured sitting on his ass, while Brian Griese leads them to the playoffs.
