Coop Shizenha Decided Not to Sell Foie Gras for Chirstmas This Year

We learned that Coop Shizenha decided not to sell foie gras for Chirstmas this year.
We’d been requesting not to do so for a while.
A person in charge at the Coop told us that there had not been many demands for foie gras anyways so they just let it go based on the opinions by the coop members this year.

We did not get a promise by the Coop that they would do the same next year.
However, the Coop has been a leading company that is aware of food issues.
So we hope they will discontinue to sell foie gras.

“Force feeding” in the process of making foie gras.
Animals naturally enjoy eating, but you can see these birds are hiding in the corner, putting their faces away to run away from this place.

We would like sellers as well as consumers to think how we can justify giving fear and pain to animals who share sensibility to feel agony with humans.
