First of all, foie gras. If you didn't know, foie gras a delicacy in French and is made of duck liver. That alone is disgusting! Why would anyone eat organs?! Besides skin, but that's where all the meat is, so, LIVER? WHY?
Anyway, a duck's liver is pretty small, so yeah, not much of a meal. Just how do humans solve this problem? Instead of avoiding eating liver, they go against nature(LIVER IS NOT TO BE EATEN, obviously, THAT'S WHY IT'S SMALL) and try.. enlarging the bloody thing.
How do you make your liver larger?
By eating fatty stuff. Lots and lots of cholestrol.
How do you get a duck to eat large amounts of fat?
By stuffing a tube down the poor thing's throat and sending fats straight to it's stomach.
People who can't eat properly may use that method, but it's voluntary, and they do so because they're hungry, not so they can have their liver all nice and juicy for horrible, horrible, unsatisfied people who actually eat them. Imagine,
Idiotic Prick: Mmm, I'm glad a duck suffered so I could fill my belly with its liver, when I
could've eaten a nice chicken.
And I don't know about you, but when my dad mentioned the tube and duck, I started tearing a little. I was imagining like, this white duck struggling to escape and having the tube stuffed roughly into its mouth. *chokes*
Ducklings! *cries*
And, another animal cruelty, people in China(surprised, anyone?) eat animals while they're still alive. What're they, barbarians? At least even cavemen bothered killing the animal before eating them.
I saw a video of this fish breathing after being fried and poked at with chopsticks by stupid perky tv hosts. If I didn't know any better I would be wtf-ing now.
Arghhh. I feel so helpless. What can I do? This is happening all over the world, and who would listen?
Yes, animals are for us to eat, to keep to ecosystem balanced and etc. But is torture really necessary? Does it appeal to you, and trigger your appetite? If it does, you are one sick bast-
Anyway.
Sadly this was discussed during dinner. urk :(
One more thing. Shakira's music video, She-Wolf?
EW. And I watched it with my parents and 8 year old sister.
