Foie Gras

BAFTA-winning actor Ralph Fiennes has written an appeal to Fortnum & Mason’s current managing director, Ewan Venters.

The renowned head chef of Cromlix House Hotel, Albert Roux, sent us an e-mail confirming that the cruelly produced foodstuff will never be found in his kitchen.

The limp, blood-spattered corpse of a dead goose serves as an upsetting reminder of where foie gras really comes from.

Tamara Ecclestone, Formula 1 heiress, TV star and PETA ambassador for our campaign against foie gras, is no stranger to helping ducks and geese.

PETA supporter Emma Thompson was enjoying a spa day at Gloucestershire’s Wyck Hill House Hotel when she made a disturbing discovery – foie gras was on the restaurant menu.

Get the facts about food. What is veal? How is foie gras made? Where does caviar come from? Is goat cheese cruel? Does it hurt when lobsters are boiled alive?

Despite overwhelming opposition, a succession of protests and clear evidence of how cruel foie gras production is, Fortnum & Mason hasn’t stopped selling this “torture in a tin”.

The legendary rocker, Morrissey, posted a stirring message on his website, slamming the torture of birds for the production of foie gras.

PETA gave Fortnum & Mason the shameful award of Cruellest Retailer as a result of its sale of foie gras.

Glamorous PETA volunteers rolled out a red carpet outside Fortnum & Mason’s Piccadilly store in order to present the medal of dishonour – the Award for Cruellest Retailer.
