Sir Roger Moore Tells Selfridges No More Foie Gras
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 17th, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues, Videos.
James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore is on a mission to get the UK supermarket Selfridges to take foie gras off the shelves.
He’s so passionate about his cause that Mr. 007 sent a letter to Selfridges’ owner, Galen Weston, offering to buy the entire remaining stock of foie gras if Weston agreed never to restock it again.
If you don’t know how foie gras is produced, it’s not a pretty picture.
Geese are force fed so much food their livers swell and it’s this organ that’s considered a delicacy to some.
Pigging out on fine food-good.
Pigging out when you don’t want to and being eaten afterward-not so good.
Here’s a clip with James talking about his top mission, with some graphic footage of how geese are force fed.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can come up with ways to abuse and exploit an animal.
Who thought of the idea of foie gras anyway? It’s not even a natural way to getting meat like shooting an animal in the wild.
