The Labour Party has announced plans to ban the import of foie gras and force-fed duck into the UK if they win the upcoming general election. This policy aims to prohibit products made by force-feeding ducks or geese, a practice considered cruel by animal welfare advocates. The announcement comes after the Conservative Party, also known as the Tories, dropped a similar policy last year. Labour's shadow environment secretary emphasized the party's commitment to animal welfare, contrasting it with the Conservatives' stance and their failure to uphold manifesto commitments. Several Labour MPs have voiced strong support for the ban, highlighting its importance to their constituents.
A vote for Labour is a vote for animal welfare. We will take action to ban the import of foie gras. https://t.co/vJ0YDNYION
I've spoken lots of people in Bristol about animal welfare. It really matters to our community & the Labour Party. If re-elected I can help form a new Labour government and do what the Tories refuse to & no other candidate in Bristol Central can do - ban force-fed duck imports 🌹 https://t.co/w9xGDSj65x
The Conservatives are on the side of animal cruelty. Labour will end it. We will ban the import of foie gras where ducks and geese are aggressively force fed. https://t.co/snUqggb2PK
🔴 NEW: Labour will ban foie gras imports if they win the general election, the shadow environment secretary has announced
It’s utterly ridiculous that in 2024 this is still permitted! The Tories totally abandoned their commitment to animal welfare - time & time again they betrayed their manifesto commitments & cannot be trusted to deliver. @UKLabour *will* ban foie gras 🪿 https://t.co/hOh7DQhQzm
