URGENT ACTION NEEDED!
NYC Council Member Carlina Rivera has introduced a bill (Intro. 1378) that would ban the sale of foie gras in New York City. This bill unfairly targets well regulated, USDA inspected family farms; limits food choice for New Yorkers; and endangers the livelihoods of hundreds of hard working farmers and their families. We need your help to fight this ban.

In today’s political environment nobody should be surprised. Keep an eye on CA. They ban everything before anybody else can. CA will be vegan by 2030 and won’t exist past 2035 if a politician is convinced, well maybe only thinks, plants have feelings including pain.
Banning the carriage horses would be a net positive for the City. Those horses look terrible & the operators are a long-shot from what was intended for a “carriage-operator”. They’re a nusance.
It is rich people food… only eaten in penthouses on Billionaire’s row… easy to point at… hey Jeff Bezos and his 25,000 jobs and net tax inflows despite the tax incentives is evil and bad for NY in some quarters…
I’m avoiding the merits of their positions (or lack thereof), because that road would quickly lead us to the Politics ghetto. However, I am sure that the people behind this are equally passionate about the other issues you raise - even the ones who aren’t part of the “meat is murder” contingent. But the argument against foie gras is, on the surface, an easier political argument for them to advance at this point in time.
Completely agree. I am always disgusted by how they look. There is NO reason that they cannot be fat, happy, well groomed and treated like gold. But instead thane all look like sad sacks, and half are lame too. It is criminal.
