Mister A's
Dear udaj: As a “true lover of God’s creations”, you are remarkably callous to the suffering you cause when you order fois gras. Are there no limits to the intensity or duration of pain and illness that you would have these birds endure so that you might find their diseased livers a bit more pleasing to your palette? Does their suffering matter to you not in the least? And please don't try to justify this cruelty as a tradition. We have many fine traditions, such as crucifixion, burning witches at the stake, and dog fighting which we (most of us, anyway) consider barbaric. The fact that our ancestors often committed evil acts does not give us an excuse to do so. I think Gandhi said it best: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."— January 30, 2009 12:03 a.m.
