Give geese a chance, says Macca

MUSIC legend Paul McCartney has written to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appealing to him to outlaw the force-feeding of geese to make the delicacy foie gras.

Politicians in California have passed a bill to stop the practice and it is awaiting the signature of Schwarzenegger.

McCartney wrote: “Force feeding for foie gras has been banned in numerous other countries because of the extreme cruelty entailed.

“I am writing to encourage you to please sign this basic humane bill into law.”
