The petition

Every year, millions of ducks and geese are subjected to force feeding a brutal and painful practice used to produce foie gras, a luxury food product.


This method involves inserting a tube down the bird’s throat to deliver large amounts of food directly into their stomachs, causing severe suffering, injury, and distress. Birds often experience difficulty breathing, liver disease, and permanent physical harm.


Despite growing awareness of this cruelty, force feeding remains legal in many countries, including the UK (where foie gras is imported) and much of Europe.


What we demand:

  • A complete ban on force feeding of ducks and geese for foie gras production.




  • An end to the import and sale of foie gras produced by force feeding.




  • Stronger animal welfare laws protecting birds from inhumane treatment.




  • Increased public awareness about the cruelty behind foie gras.




Why is this important?

  • Force feeding causes intense pain and suffering to animals for the sake of a luxury product.




  • Alternative, humane methods of producing poultry products exist—this cruelty is unnecessary.




  • Several countries and regions have already banned force feeding and foie gras imports (e.g., UK, California, India). The UK should follow their lead and show global leadership in animal welfare.




Join us!

By signing this petition, you stand against unnecessary animal cruelty and demand an end to the force feeding practice.
Let’s make compassion the standard ban force feeding now.


SIGN THE PETITION and share widely! Together, we can end this outdated, painful practice.
