Foie Gras Protesters Fed At Thomas Keller French Laundry Restaurant

Anti foie gras protests at Thomas Keller‘s restaurants ranged from mild to slightly aggressive, as Eater reports.
Members of The Animal Protection Rescue League targeted Per Se in New York, Bouchon in Los Angeles, and The French Laundry in Yountville, CA.
All three restaurants serve foie gras, the swollen liver of ducks and geese obtained by force feeding them through tubes.
The Bouchon crowd was reported to be the rowdiest, chanting phrases like, “You have blood on your hands” and “We will never back down, till you stop the killing.”
The French Laundry actually fed its protesters with lemonade and cookies and shared its daily “Tasting of Vegetables” event with them.
