The nation’s largest foie gras factory farm in the U.S. is Hudson Valley Foie Gras in Ferndale, New York. Most factory farms are under super tight security for fear of "eco-terrorists" (people who dislike cruelty to animals) but Hudson Valley Foie Gras gives guided tours. Compassion Over Killing (COK) has taken advantage of this opportunity and brought a hidden camera on their tour.

The tour was no doubt a watered down look at how foie gras is made but even the censored tour reveals the house of horrors that is Hudson Valley Foie Gras. A statement from COK called described the scene as "a torture chamber for birds—from pipes being shoved down their throats and food pumped into their stomachs to being grabbed by their wings, shackled upside down, and their throats slit."



We can work together to put Hudson Valley Foie Gras and the rest of the industry out of business.
