Tomorrow, Friday, September 1st, from 5:45-7 p.m. in front of Bexley Monk (2232 E. Main St., Bexley, Ohio 43209).
Last week, Bexley Monk, regarded as one of Columbus finest dining establishments, added foie gras to its menu in protest of a newly enacted ban on the product in Chicago.
What is foie gras?
It’s the over-sized, diseased liver from which pate is made. Workers force a long, metal tube down ducks and geese’s necks directly into their stomachs where they pump large amounts of food – so much food that sometimes their stomachs explode, or the rod punctures through their neck.
Delicious delicacy, or complete cruelty?
Please join me and other local activists with Mercy for Animals and PETA in speaking up against the forced feeding torture that both ducks and geese suffer through. Show the Bexley Monk customers what they’re really eating!!
For more information please visit PETA’s website on foie gras or contact Mercy for Animals at info@mercyforanimals.org.
Also, please call and write the restaurant to voice your disapproval:
phone: 614-239-6665, e-mail (Bob Monica): Bob@BexleysMonk.com.
Update 09/03/06:
Mercy For Animals’ Executive Director Nathan Runkle had his editorial letter about the foie gras issue published in Sunday’s Columbus Dispatch, check it out. Props to the Dispatch for publishing this!!
