Goosing the foie gras

Check out this clip of a demonstration this past week outside one of Budapest' Tesco outlets. Animal rights groups have been active in Hungary for years, and the local PETA folks are now taking on the force-feeding of geese for the french foie gras market. Making a fuss outside Tesco is of course a good thing to do in any event. George Monbiot has followed the company's power and propoganda machine for years, repeatedly drawing conclusions that can be characterized as a cocktail of depression mixed with anger and a twist of fatalism. Personally, i can't stand foie gras and after seeing this you probably won't be interested in consuming it, either.
