Foie gras ban faces legal challenge as NYC sues state over animal welfare concerns on Sullivan County farms

In 2019, the New York City Council passed a bill banning the sale of foie gras produced through force-feeding, citing the process as inhumane. This ban had a direct impact on two duck farms here in Sullivan County,  La Belle Farms and Hudson Valley Foie Gras, two of the largest producers of foie gras in America.Radio Catskill’s Patricio Robayo visited Hudson Valley Foie Gras farm to ask how the ban on selling foie gras would affect the farm and its workers. He also talked to animal rights activists about why they thought the ban was necessary and how the farms exploit their workers. Read more here: https://wjffradio.org/special-report-foie-gras-ban-faces-legal-challenge-as-nyc-sues-state-over-animal-welfare-concerns-on-sullivan-county-farms/
