ANTI-FOIE GRAS DEMO IN THE NORTH BAY!

Please join In Defense of Animals (IDA), Animal Protection and Rescue League (APRL), and Orange County People for Animals (OCPA) for a national protest and leafleting against the Thomas Keller restaurant group for continuing to serve force fed cruelty in the form of foie gras.

On Saturday, May 8, we will hold demonstrations at their three main restaurants around the US.
Please join us for the North Bay protest:

6640 Washington St.
Yountville, CA 94599
Time: 6:30pm

This protest will be supported by simultaneous demos at-

Per Se
New York, NY 10019

Bouchon
Beverly Hills, CA 90210


Several high profile chefs, including Wolfgang Puck and Charlie Trotter, have stopped serving foie gras due to the inherent cruelty in its production. A California statewide ban will go into effect in 2012, and six city councils have signed resolutions commending restaurants for removing this product of animal torture.

Despite repeated requests, Thomas Keller continues dishing up cruelty, so come help us educate their customers with a peaceful leafleting. Banners and flyers will be provided.

For questions and carpool info, contact hope [at] idausa.org or 415-448-0058. Visit BanFoieGras.org for more information.
