Thomas Keller Reps Respond To Foie Gras Protest Plans

After learning the plans of animal rights activists to protest outside his restaurants for selling foie gras, Thomas Keller issued a statement through his representatives.
From Grubstreet:
“The Thomas Keller Restaurant Group consistently endeavors to make extremely conscientious decisions regarding all suppliers with whom we work, and our chefs have specifically selected to source from the most ethical purveyors possible. We will keep within full accordance of all legal mandates should the states of California and New York pass future legislation regarding Foie Gras.”
As long as they’re being stuffed to (literally) death and killed, it’s probably not “ethical” enough.
The protests are taking place this Saturday at Keller’s California and New York restaurants as part of a campaign organized by several groups, including Animal Protection & Rescue League, Orange County People for Animals, In Defense of Animals, and Compassion Over Killing.
