In my opinion, mistreatment of animals in this way is not acceptable. I'm glad that Disney have taken a lead on this issue.

I'm more upset about them taking the characters away from LTT than this.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

what seems wrong to me is disney having a whole park dedicated to animals and conservation and serving a food that requires gross animal cruelty. i see nothing wrong with disney not serving this
last trip AKL may '06
first trip 1973
-
I never ate it but after learning how they make it, I'm glad they got rid of it.

Not to start a flame war, I was actually looking forward to ordering foie gras at California Grill. I actually like the stuff and I'm disappointed I won't be able to order it.

I'm really surprised it took them so long. A lot of celebrated chefs and top restaurants have already stopped serving foie gras. I'm guilty of enjoying the occasional foie gras dish, but it really is disturbing to know how it comes to be. And Disney is the one place I would expect to be PC to a fault. I think it's the right move for Disney.

ditto the above ditto---As a new vegetarian and also a proud American- I respect the rights of others to live as they choose in this country. That being said, I am thrilled with this decision, whatever the motive. Different from Chicago's ban, which makes it illegal to make/consume duck liver, this decision doesn't outlaw it. Folks can still have it, just not at WDW. People vote with their wallets, and I'm betting that Disney isn't going to lose a ton of money with this decision.

I agree completely! I do eat meat and am not a huge PITA activist, but seriously... this is horrible. I didn't know anything about this dish or how it was made. I am completely disgusted that anyone would support this. All for the sake of liver?? Seriously? I don't care how good something tastes, thats just awful.

Disney's a corporation and making a move they think will financially benefit their company.
I'm not at all in favor of government bans (of any kind), because I believe in personal choice. If you don't like foie gras because of the way it's made then by all means ... boycott it. But don't force others to do the same.
But a corporation is different. They're making what is almost certainly a financially motivated decision they think is right for them and I fully support that. I don't think it's PC driven at all. I think it's balance sheet driven.

I did not know about the process. I've never even eaten foie gras. We're not animal activists or anything, but that sounds a little disturbing. Who even came up with that?
BLT Owners as of 11/09!

Any restaurant can make any menu change for any reason. If there is a huge outcry, which I doubt, the change will be reconsidered.
Assuming the desrciption on the Sentinal is correct, how could you fault a restaurant for not serving something that is that inhumane to any animal?
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

Seems a very silly thread. Too many opinions on the treatment and even the actual consumption of animals out there.
