Too right! There are lots of traditional practices that work and are even interesting from a historical viewpoint but that doesn't mean that we need to or should do them in the 21st century.

Thank you Marigold

Signed I think this is despicable and at the end of the day pointless as it's only going to be excreted down the pan and the duck suffers in vain!

It may please you all to know that a local producer (to us) is being prosecuted under the animal welfare laws and is likely to be imprisoned. There was some outrageous film screened on the local TV news programme which made battery hen cages look like 5 star hotel accommodation- I won't describe it in detail, but it certainly wouldn't be shown on British TV.

That is good to know - the world is slowly moving in the right direction.
I have to admit, I took some satisfaction from a friend of mine having several tins of foie gras being confiscated from hand luggage. Well you might throw it and knock out the pilot I suppose!
