I have many issues with how animals are used for our benefit when there are alternatives and one of them is how geese are force fed to produce larger livers to provide mainly the French food industry with Pate de fois gras,

The EU has said that it will let it continue for another 15 years to allow the French to find an alternative !

There have been approx 30,000 small farms set up in Hungary to produce the livers mainly to supply the French.

To say there are no alternatives is a bloody joke seeing as the French is reakoned to be the gastronomic mecca in the world.

Please don't give me echoes of 'it is their heritage'
