Look, if you are not a vegetarian, you have to accept that animals are killed for our nutrition and our pleasure. I myself have never killed anything more evolved than a crustacean, and I don't know that I could, but I have easily accepted this basic fact. The big problem for most who agree with foie gras bans is the visceral image of gavage. The bigger problem is that the vegoterrorists don't doesn't want to stop there - they want to prevent us from eating meat.
If the idea of the poor duckies is too much for you, don't go there, but I am glad I did.
And I can think of a lot of ways to use those Magret breasts !

I've killed chickens, rabbits and fish. I've been present at the slaughter of sheep, pigs and cows. Not a pleasant business, but I long ago decided that if I was to be a carnivore (and oh my word, I need to be), I had to be willing to do the dirty deed.
It's a big, nasty, complex world and we are built to be omnivorous. Also, the thought of a life without rare steaks and black pudding makes me die a little inside. So it's THEM OR ME, dammit! :-)
Nice blog, Scotty.
Umm. This Jack!
