Dufour said that foie gras ducks and geese are treated much more humanely than other animals consumed for food because of the controversy surrounding it. VFAR’s Dominguez believes the opposite is true and argued that if he fed a dog or cat until the animal suffered liver or digestive failure, he would be arrested for animal cruelty.
He also balks at the notion that, since the foie gras industry is small, animal activists should overlook their concerns with it and focus on factory poultry farms. “We go after all types of animal cruelty,” Dominguez said. “This idea that we don’t work on other issues—it’s laughable.
