A federal judge overturned California's 2012 ban on foie gras, allowing chefs to put the indulgent liver dish back on their menus. Foie gras is produced by force-feeding geese and ducks through tubes that run down their throats to cause their livers to become fatty and engorged. The gratuitous cruelty of this practice sets foie gras apart from other meat products, hence the reason for the 2012 ban.

Stephen V. Wilson of United States District Court, ruled the ban unconstitutional on Wednesday, January 7, 2015. He said the ban attempted to override existing federal law regarding poultry production.

California state officials still have a chance to appeal Judge Wilson's decision. Please sign the petition to tell California that banning animal torture is not "unconstitutional." Keep foie gras illegal in California!

Foie gras production = torture that's for sure...

The article mentions banning it from restaurants but I'm not sure if the state of California actually produces it...

The disgusting, cruel way that foie gras is produced has to be stopped. I have been banging on about this for years but sadly as long as pricks want to eat the stuff it will be produced.

And they can die. I don't mean to be cruel, but it's just Karma. This dish is a diseased animal part that's loaded with fat, yet people consider foie gras to be a "delicacy". smh.
