Description

An ordinance introduced by Portland Councilor Mitch Green and Council President Jamie Dunphy casts the production of foie gras as inhumane and environmentally unsustainable, practices that run contrary to Portland values.

Portland city councilors this week will weigh a potential ban on foie gras, the French delicacy made with the livers of force-fed waterfowl such as ducks or geese.
