To the "critic" who decided she had an informed decision about foie gras: Regarding foie gras: You are factually wrong when you claimed "Veterinarians consistently refuse to condemn foie gras..." The AVMA's actual position on it, as cited on their website, is Quoted from the AVMA website: This past April, the Executive Board forwarded the AWC's recommendation to the HOD as a resolution—Resolution 3—so that delegates could decide the issue that originated in their chamber. It states: "Resolved, that the AVMA opposes the practice of mechanical force feeding of ducks and geese to produce foie gras because of the adverse effects on the birds' health and welfare associated with this practice." Regarding your accusations against PeTA, I researched their website. My ten minutes of research on their website revealed that they oppose because it is unnecessary, cruel, inhumane, unnatural, and promotes disease among the birds. They also oppose it because of the substandards living conditions under which many of these birds are kept. I also learned that none other than the pope himself apparently agrees with their "Disneyesque sentimentality". I know you’re just a restaurant critic, and therefore not a real reporter. But since your work is published in a newspaper don’t you think you should make SOME attempt to fact-check before publishing? Your agenda is far more transparent than the one you claim PeTA has. You like the way it tastes. But you lack either the conscience to see that is is wrong, and/or the will to follow through on that by not eating it. So you made a quite lame and failed attempt to use reason to justify your complicit involvement is the continuation of this unecessary prcatice. Just as small children are kept away from sharp knives, so should you be kept away from attempts at using reason.— July 11, 2009 3:29 p.m.
