Foie gras campaigners have targeted Leeds

Campaigners from Foie Gras Free North (FGFN) targeted restaurants in Leeds last weekend in a bid to turn the city “foie gras free”.

The move follows a series of protests against restaurants serving the controversial delicacy in recent weeks.

 

Michelin-starred Midsummer House in Cambridge was forced to remove foie gras from its menu after being vandalised by the Animal Liberation Front.

 

Other restaurants targeted this weekend included Anthony's at Flannels and Chino Latino.
