Re: A large benefit of brexit! Finally.

This vile practice should have been banned years ago. I wouldn't expect anything less from the French.

"Asked about the gavage, the most controversial aspect of foie gras production, where long tubes are pushed down the birds throat to pump food into the digestive system, causing the liver to swell to several times its natural size"

You know how it is with englishmen and the law, don't you?

Hunts have continued to be held throughout England and Wales, sometimes with the hunters and hounds following a previously laid scent trail rather than a live fox (drag hunting).
