With the one exception of that Goose that bit my oldest daughter on her Stomach about 49 years ago, while she was happily feeding it, I like all other Ducks and Geese.
(Actually she was bitten on her Tummy because she was not old enough to have developed a Stomach yet.)
An excerpt from this article https://nypost.com/2019/02/03/state-bill-would-ban-foie-gras-in-new-york-for-animal-cruelty/ is below...
“New Yorkers will be saying ‘au revoir' to a popular, but controversial, French delicacy if a local legislator has her way.
A Manhattan legislator is pushing for a city ban on the sale of Foie Gras by restaurants and vendors on the basis of animal cruelty.
A New York Councilwoman told reporters that her bill proposing to make sale of the fattened-goose-liver pate criminal is ‘common sense’ because the Foie Gras production process is ‘egregious’ and has been wrongly ‘tolerated’ for ‘far too long’ in the Big Apple.
Violators would be guilty of a misdemeanor and face fines of up to $1,000 and a year in jail for each offense, if the proposal became law.”

I am not advocating being mean to Ducks and Geese but many in the Good Ole USofA today say, I don’t use that product, so I don’t care what you do to the people that do use that product.
A good example of this way of thinking is those that say, “I don’t smoke, therefore, I am in favor of taxing the Devil out of Cigarettes because I won’t be paying the tax on those Taxed Cigarettes”.
Since most people do not eat Foie Gras, this law will probably be passed.

Question to the Foie Gras Legislator: Does it bother you to know that in New York State a Goose or a Duck would have more protection from pain and suffering than an Unborn or a Just Born Human Baby?
Answer from the Foie Gras Legislator: What are you some kind of nitpicky person? Don’t you understand that an Unborn or a Just Born Human Baby does not have feathers?
Response from the questioner: You have a valid point there. I wonder why I never thought of that.
Would I kid u?
