Dear Sir,
As a customer of Tesco, I was deeply concerned and shocked to learn that foie gras is sold in your stores in Hungary.
Foie gras production is both brutal, inhumane and causes great suffering to the birds. Ducks and geese are force-fed with a feeding tube that is forced down their throats. During the force feeding ducks may be confined in small cages where they cannot stand up, turn around or stretch their wings. After force-feeding, the birds are usually gasping for air and struggle to move away from the person who force-fed them. The birds suffer injuries, infections and respiratory disorders, well as experience fear and distress from the experience.
As a leading international retailer, Tesco should be taking the lead on animal welfare.
I hope Tesco will make a firm and clear policy decision to stop selling foie gras in all of its stores. I think people expect more from Britain's biggest retailer.
Yours sincerely,
YOUR NAME
