DESCRIPTION:Chefs Jon Sears and Scott Giambastiani are on what they call "a personal 
 crusade" to defend the "right" of restaurateurs to sell the diseased livers 
 of force-fed ducks as a high-priced gourmet delicacy. They are holding a 
 "special dinner" consisting of a twelve-course duck meal specifically to 
 support California's foie gras and duck meat producers, who are in the 
 business of torturing ducks for profit. In fact, the only foie gras 
 producer in the state, president of Sonoma Foie Gras Guillermo Gonzalez, is 
 the "special guest speaker," and will lead an after-dinner discussion of 
 "The Duck Bill of Rights." Sears, Giambastiani and Gonzalez would like to 
 frame the foie gras issue as one of consumers' right to choose, but at $250 
 a plate ($300 with wine pairing), their real motivation seems to be a 
 desperate attempt to protect their right to make a financial killing off of 
 animal suffering.      Please join IDA, Viva!USA, Farm Sanctuary, and 
 Animal Place at an educational outreach event outside of this "special 
 dinner," the actual intention of which is to justify and promote egregious 
 cruelty to animals.      What: Foie gras and duck meat dinner outreach 
 event  Where: The Dining Room Restaurant, 1602 S. El Camino Real, San 
 Mateo, Calif.  When: Saturday, April 16, from 4:30 - 6:15 p.m.  For more 
 information and directions, email Kristie@idausa.org. \n
