Reply to comment by spahlo in State Orders NYC To Drop Foie Gras Sales Ban, Says Ban Violates NY Agricultural Law by Gato1980
"We can torture animals however we want so long as they're food animals."
No, being raised for food doesn't confer an inherent right to torture.
It's like suggesting it would be ok to beat death row inmates every day, because we're going to kill them anyway.
Torture and killing for a specific purpose are not ethically the same.

Nobody’s torturing the animals in this case. People are anthropomorphizing them and assume that the ducks must dislike the force feeding in the same way a human would.
