Yes, it's inhumane all right. Human beings shouldn't lower themselves to cause suffering to fellow creatures on farms and I find it disappointing that pâté de foie gras can be mentioned in passing in a frivolous way that seems to quite approve of it.

[@judithm375]

Glancing down at more comments i think there's going to be more about foie gras on this documentary with someone trying to justify it. I already know how it's produced. Sadly, I can't bear to watch more of this otherwise very good documentary.

I'm from Albi and it's 3 hours away from Dordogne, and Carcassonne is 2 hours away from here. These places are not close at all, actually it's not even the same region (Albi and Carcassonne are in Occitanie, la Dordogne is in Nouvelle-Aquitaine). If you go to Dordogne I would suggest you to visit villages in Lot/Corrèze instead, it's closer.

[@veroniquenarbonne3429]

Je suis bien d'accord avec vous, mais pour un Américain, trois heures de voiture, c'est la porte à côté! Ce journaliste dit que la France a la taille du Texas. Rouler trois heures au Texas ne change pas grand chose au paysage et à l'architecture rencontrés... pour eux, les châteaux médiévaux se ressemblent tous et nos différences régionales sont un peu ridicules. J'espère quand même que cette émission aura convaincue les outrés du gavage des oies que ces volatiles ont une vie bien plus agréable que leurs poulets de batterie...

@@karenmedler9454 Dordogne citizen here and I agree with you! These practices aren't humane at all and hurt the geese. The force-feeding, as it literally tells, is not natural for them.

[@vapidrabbit198]

Not sure the farmer’s reasoning that force feeding is somehow the same as natural energy stocking really makes sense, or justifies the practice...... otherwise they wouldn’t need to force feed the geese. And because the geese don’t fly, they don’t ever work off the fat. I can’t imagine that doesn’t lead to some kind of health issue and discomfort. Finally, I appreciate that she seems to provide a relatively pleasant life for her geese (aside from the force feeding and eventual slaughter, of course), but I’m sure there are also froie gras farmers who are less ethical and less concerned with with their geese’s comfort...... I’ve seen videos of geese too fat to stand up and were basically confined to their pen... sometimes getting attacked by rats, without being able to even turn around to defend themselves. No siree, NO foie gras for me, thank you very much.
