Burger King Drops Plans For ‘Torture Burgers’

Within hours of Viva! and our supporters contacting Burger King and the PR company that said they were considering using foie-gras in a new 'luxury' charity burger, we heard those plans have now been scrapped! Viva! outlined the abject cruelty caused by foie-gras production, and suggested the company switched to veggie burgers if they really want to improve the world! Thank you to everyone who wrote.

“It’s comes from tortured ducks and geese, it’s a product of disease and it costs a fortune but some people still drool and dribble over foie-gras. It’s obtained by imprisoning birds in cages so tiny they can’t move, by forcing a pipe down their throats and force feeding them until their livers swell to ten times their natural size. There is always someone who’s ready to excuse barbarity and cruelty and that’s what those who eat it and those who sell it are doing. But there is no excuse and that’s why everyone should back Viva!’s campaign to make Britain foie-gras free. It certainly has my support.” Viva! patron Heather Mills
