We all know that the royal family has a lot of influence, not just in Britain but also around the world. So when they take a stand on something – whether it’s political, social, or environmental – people sit up and listen.

This is why we were pleased to hear that King Charles has recently banned foie gras from all royal residences.

For those who don’t know, foie gras is made from duck or goose liver and is considered a delicacy in many fine-dining establishments. However, the process of making this dish is anything but delicate...

Foie gras has since been deemed as ‘cruel’ and ‘disgusting’ by animal rights activist groups, such as PETA, who claimed that the process of creating the delicacy enclosed ducks and geese in tiny cages and force-fed them several times a day for about a month until their liver becomes 10 times larger than its natural size.

According to the animal rights group, some of the birds have 'difficulty standing up' as a result of their large livers.

PETA sent a letter to Buckingham Palace congratulating King Charles in light of his decision to discontinue the purchase and consumption of foie gras in the Royal Household.

While the organisation expressed their gratitude to the royal for making such a decision, the organisation’s Vice President Elisa Allen ensured that this is just the beginning of wider reforms in the royal household.

'Video footage of birds being painfully force-fed is enough to make anyone lose their lunch,' said Elisa.

'PETA encourages everyone to follow the King’s lead and leave foie gras off the menu this Christmas and beyond.'

Meanwhile, Royal fan accounts on social media said that they were thrilled by King Charles’ decision to discontinue this food item.

One user wrote: 'Good. The practice of making foie gras is evil. Even as a meat eater I wouldn’t touch it.'

'Wonderful! A great step for humanity! Foie gras means torture,' another added.

However, other users pointed out that the ban doesn’t change anything as the royals still contribute to animal abuse in other areas.

One comment read: 'Next step faux fur hats — it’s 2022 (not 1815).'

'A good start, how about stopping the use of tiger and bear fur for army ceremonial hats King Charles,' another said.

A third chimed in: 'How about you stop shooting, hunting, and supporting horse racing? King Charles has a long way to go before I will support him.'

Omg I have never heard of this , how bloody cruel hmm banned from the Palace!! That must mean they have been cooking it.

I've always found it strange that Charles said he was a nature activice yet he hunts.

I hate seeing documentaries showing how much the Royals enjoy hunting and how they hunt often. This is a Disgusting sport maybe he needs to look at this.
Hunting is OK as a means to get food but it is not ok as a sport

 

[Thecheesequeen]

I think he stopped hunting a few years ago when there was a great of public protest about him hunting.

It is an evil practice.

 

[JayEeGeeP]

They stopped the fox hunting years ago. It's also a very cruel way they harvest down for doonas, it's a very painful process for the ducks and geese.

If already banned in the U.K. how would they procure and serve it?
As for PETA they are more problem to so many legitimate practices.

Yes, I agree it’s wonderful that King Charles has enforced this, but, he would know that he has many more changes to make for the safety of all animals.

 

[Ricci]

So, one person stops the use of one item and the world applauds. Let's face it, it's a very small market he's going to influence. I doubt that many, if any, of the people on here have actually eaten foie gras. Now if he was to do something that would influence a great part of the community like maybe put solar on all the palaces and such, that is something every household could aspire to.

King Charles has always been at the forefront of supporting natural things. Remember the uproar when he talked to his plants? It has since been shown to be beneficial for both plants & people to talk to the natural world. Foie Gras banning is a step in the right direction for the king. I am sure we will hear of more initiatives soon.

 

[leanneh]

Well done King Charles. A truly horrendous practice that should be stopped. Ban foie gras everywhere.

 

[JayKay]

I remember reading an article a couple of years ago where Prince William with Kate and Prince George attended a game bird shoot near Balmoral Castle.
I find it abhorrent.
Kill for food, definitely not for sport.
Aboriginals hunt for food, they don't hunt for fun.
King Charles' words don't equate to his actions.....he talked to his plants long before it was an accepted practice, he has been portrayed as a Greenie, but to kill for sport does not hold water to what he says he believes.
