Here are just a few of the high-profile people who have expressed their disgust with Fortnum & Mason for continuing to sell foie gras.
Sir Roger Moore
“If Fortnum & Mason wants to continue to trade on its ‘Britishness’ and high standards, it should … stop paying French farmers to force-feed geese for foie gras.”
Ralph Fiennes
“A product that causes so much suffering that it’s illegal to produce in the UK should not be sold in an iconic British department store.”
Pamela Anderson
“I’m stunned that Fortnum & Mason sells a product that involves one of the cruellest practices in the world.”
Emma Parker Bowles
“There is no justification for this cruelty, nor is there anything ‘British’ about foie gras.”
Dame Vera Lynn
“For a department store with such a proud British heritage, it made me sad that you would wish to tarnish it by associating yourself with the force-feeding of animals.”
Ricky Gervais
“It is upsetting that the trading of this food simply keeps the high demand for this unnecessary torture.”
Zac Goldsmith, MP
“Traditional ‘la gavage’ foie gras production is banned in the UK and a number of other leading stores such as Selfridges and Harvey Nicols have withdrawn it from sale. I urge you to follow their example … by removing it from Fortnum and Mason’s shelves.”
