This thread is bringing out the "I don't like it, so let's ban it" wing of Free Republic.

Let's not run around banning things simply because we can get 51% of the people to agree they don't want it, shall we? Not many good outcomes once you head down that road.

And for those who think this is terribly inhumane, why not head out to a fois gras farm and check it out. They have such farms in upstate New York. It's not quite what "Sir Paul" depicts.

Taking PETA's word on animal cruelty is slightly more stupid than taking Michael Moore's word on Iraq.

Let's not run around banning things simply because we can get 51% of the people to agree they don't want it, shall we?

The difference is that a living thing is demonstrably suffering to make a delicacy. If an inanimate thing is involved, I'd agree.
