—Uri Geller, mentalist and magician who wants to use the power of the mind to help one of the last sellers of Foie Gras in the UK, Fortnum & Mason, to take the product off the shelves.

They know how to make you happy. What we need most to help animals is new legislation to protect them and to enforce the laws we already have.”
