Carlina Rivera, a New York City councilwoman who signed a resolution urging the State of New York to pass the controversial Reproductive Health Act that loosened late-term abortion restrictions, is also sponsoring a bill that would ban restaurants and vendors from selling foie gras in New York City — because of animal cruelty.
Should the Manhattan councilwoman succeed in passing her bill, the sale of the controversial French delicacy — made by enlarging the livers of geese and ducks by using feeding tubes to force-feed them before harvest — would be punishable by a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 per offense.not part of the diet of everyday New Yorkers,” Rivera told the New York Post. “Less than 1 percent of all New York City restaurants serve it. This is truly a luxury item.”
Rivera called her bill “common sense” and the process behind making the fattened liver an “egregious” one that’s been “tolerated” for “far too long,” the Post reported.

These dumb ass democrats in Ny who cheered post birth abortion are losing billions in revenue due to their ridiculous tax policies and are worried about this.You just cant fix stupid ! SMH
Next, massaging sturgeon for their eggs to sell as caviar will be in her cross-hairs. As we know, only rich people eat caviar.
For those of you old enough to remember Mitch Miller:
"So be kind to your web-footed friends
For that duck may be somebody's mother..."
