Almost no supermarket chain in the UK will carry foie gras—AKA (to you and I) "torture in a tin." So why is it that Tesco in the UK have taken it off their shelves, but their stores in Hungary are still quite willing to sell the "fatty liver"? It really doesn't make any sense!
Wherever foie gras is sold, it is still the diseased liver of ducks or geese, who are forced to live in complete misery from the day that they are born until the day they die. After being forced fed by a pipe that is shoved down their throat, they are finally slaughtered once their livers have swollen up to 10 times the normal size.
Despite a recent investigation into the cruel Hungarian foie gras industry, Tesco continues to unapologetically sell the product in Hungary.
It is imperative that Tesco get foie gras off their shelves for good. Those of you in the U.S will recognise the company as Fresh & Easy.
This is the part where you make things happen—please urge Tesco to ditch the foie gras.

Tesco sell live turtles for human consumption in some of their Asian stores and I'm sure many people in the UK will have already heard about the poor chickens that Tesco call "free"!
