Hi,



I just heard that Alderman Thomas M Tunney is trying to overturn the Fois Gras ban in Chicago.



I strongly urge you to resist this and support the current ban.



Chicago's ban on this barbaric food has been seen as a leading example throughout the USA and shown the world that the USA upholds the highest of food and moral standards when it comes to animal welfare.



Overturning this ban will reverse all that  good stature created over the past 12 months.



Please, please, do what you can to stop Tunney repeal of the Fois Gras ban.



Thank you

To be honest, if Tunney eats a lot of Fois Gras he doesn't look too good on it ;-)

Answer 2

Thanks for letting us know....I am emailing each of them through the link that Michael H referenced.  

This really needs to be stopped.....

UPDATE:

I hate to tell you this, but the ban was repealed yesterday.  Here is a link to an article that briefly covered the decision: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/14...

Apparantly it was repealed by a vote of 37-6.  REPULSIVE. What is wrong with these people that 37 of them think this is okay!?

Here's a link from the Chicago Tribune: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/natio...

Answer 3

How horrible this is so wrong! I agree with you. As soon as I can I will e-mail all fifty aldermans! I am all for saving harmless animals!

Answer 4

I am not a vegitarian, but even I am offended by the repeal of the fois gras ban.  I think the ban needs to start with the education of the people, if people stop eating it then maybe resturants will stop selling it.

Answer 5

That is really bad to hear, thanks Micheal H for posting all that info.

The poster above me boggles my mind. So the people of Chicago are too pre-occupied with homicide to take any other branches of law seriously... well, OK. Maybe I will move over there make my fortune mugging old ladies or something. Kidnap a few babies while I'm there. Sell them on the black market... all that fun stuff.

I live in London- our transport system is a joke, and our mayor is... well... google Boris Johnson and have a few laughs. But guess what, we still have time for caring about animals. Amazing isnt it?
