The New York City Foie Gras Ban Could Kill the American Foie Industry | Eater

"Led by president Sergio Saravia, who credits a prior employer with helping his family immigrate to the U.S., this Sullivan County duck farm is one of the nation’s two primary foie gras producers and stands to lose roughly a third of its business if a proposed New York City ban on products from force-fed birds passes. The operation and its staff are portrayed as family-oriented and invested in animal husbandry, and management warns that losing New York City sales could threaten the farm’s survival and its ability to pay overhead and employees." - Nadra Nittle
