Foie gras is victory for meat industry

The repeal of the foie gras ban in Chicago is a victory for the destructive and inhumane meat industries.

Beef, pork and poultry magnates cause more pollution and global warming than all the harmful emissions released by planes, trains and automobiles.

The innumerable tons of nutritious grains fed to mistreated and exploited food animals could be sent to poor nations to reduce human starvation.

Any triumph for the meat industries is a defeat for the planet, economically impoverished people and the animal kingdom.
