The Humane Society

On Friday, the Humane Society of the United States refiled and expanded its lawsuit seeking to block foie gras production in New York, the nation's largest foie-gras supplying state. The action comes in response to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finding that foie gras consumption may trigger the development of a serious disease that can cause a multitude of human health problems, including extensive organ damage, kidney failure, and even death.
