Tamara Ecclestone Strips to Protest Foie Gras
British socialite Tamara Ecclestone exudes high-class elegance—so it’s no surprise that she despises cruel foie gras. Following PETA U.K.’s recent victory in getting Selfridges to stop selling the “delicacy of despair,” Tamara—the gorgeous Sky Sports TV presenter and daughter of Formula One racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone—has taken it all off in the name of compassion.
To produce foie gras, workers force metal pipes down the throats of ducks and geese and pump up to 4 pounds of grain into their stomachs two or three times a day in order to cause their livers to become engorged. This overfeeding is excruciatingly painful and often causes the animals’ organs to rupture. Foie gras production is so cruel that it has been banned in 16 countries, including the U.K., but inexplicably, retailers and restaurants in England are still allowed to sell it. To help end the suffering of these animals, follow Tamara’s titillating lead and take our “No Foie Gras” pledge today.
