A Promise Made. A Promise at Risk.
The UK Government pledged to ban the importation of cruel foie gras. Now reports suggest they may quietly abandon that commitment. Your MP has the power to change that.
Meet your minister – Emma Reynolds MP for Wycombe

The fight to end foie gras in Britain
Animal Equality is campaigning for a UK foie gras import ban. We have delivered petitions, briefed parliamentarians, and gathered evidence from inside the farms where this product is made. The cruelty is documented and undeniable.
- Ducks and geese are force-fed significant quantities of grain per day via a metal pipe inserted directly into their throats, several times a day.
- Livers swell to ten times their natural size, approximately the size of a small football. Birds often cannot stand or breathe normally by the time they are slaughtered.
- Production is already banned in the UK, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, and over a dozen other countries – yet imports remain legal under current rules.

END THE CRUELTY
Foie gras is immensely cruel. Its production causes ducks and geese severe physical and psychological pain. You can protect ducks and geese by opting for plant-based alternatives.
