NYC Votes to Ban Foie Gras | Eater NY

"At the 37-year-old Ferndale farm Hudson Valley Foie Gras I learned that foie gras is its biggest and most lucrative product, generating about $35 million in annual sales; Marcus Henley says the farm brings important outside money into Sullivan County, invited city council members to visit, defends the gavage process as "not harmful, and comfortable, with a tiny little tube the size of your finger," and predicts, "We’re pretty confident this law won’t be enforced and [will be] overturned in court," adding, "We’re not gonna let 400 people lose their jobs without a fight." - Caleb Pershan
