Estonian organisation Loomus has launched an online petition – which is open for signatures for a few weeks only – asking the Government of the Republic of Estonia to do everything in its power to support a ban on force-feeding throughout the European Union, or at least to endorse the deletion of the requirement of minimum weights for duck and goose livers used in foie gras production.

Click the “Soovin saada Loomuse uudiskirja” box only if you would like to receive the Loomus Newsletter (in Estonian).
