Disney makes Donald proud (and Daisy, Huey, Dewey and Louie)
October 13th, 2008 by admin
Walt Disney World has announced that it has dropped foie gras from its menus. Foie gras at Disney? Actually, four restaurants at Walt Disney World- including Victoria and Albert’s, the restaurant at Disney’s flagship Grand Floridian Resort- served foie gras, a product made from the diseased liver of force-fed ducks and geese.
Birds raised for foie gras are force-fed enormous quantities of food through a long metal pipe several times a day. This process of deliberate overfeeding continues for weeks. By the end of the force-feeding process, ducks are physically debilitated with livers five to ten times normal size and many are unable to stand or walk.
Disney’s wide-ranging influence makes its decision particularly exciting!
Please contact Walt Disney World and thank them for their compassionate decision.

Unfortunately, there are several Orlando-area restaurants that still have foie gras on their menu (click here for a list). By serving foie gras, these restaurants contribute to the suffering of ducks and geese.
Please contact these restaurants and urge them to join the growing number of establishments that have stopped serving the cruel product.
