Foie Gras Follies

Wednesday evening a petition was presented to the Sonoma City Council requesting that they ban foie gras from being sold in town. The main proponent of the petition, a woman who sells dead fish [fried] for a living, said a ban was "necessary to protect the city's 'positive image.'" Maintaining her position in favor of ignorance of all things practical, the petition bearer neglected to have the issue put on the regular calendar agenda, without which it cannot even be addressed by the Council. [Way to be effective, twit.] Fortunately, the Council members chose to decline the invitation to asininity. Apparently they do not wish to be pawns in the national agenda to force a vegan society.

"Having examined both sides of the issue," [Mayor] Ashford said after the meeting, "I have no intention of bringing the issue to council."

Good on 'em. Guillermo Gonzales is the owner of the duck farm besieged by vegan terrorists. Gonzales "...is concerned that his business has been singled out as a target to be destroyed. 'I call (on) the people stalking us to put their efforts to something that will benefit humanity,' Gonzales added." Well said.
