Email your MP: ban the import of foie gras

Why it's urgent

Reports suggest the Government may be stepping back from its commitment as part of trade negotiations. No date for any decision has been given, so there is no fixed deadline.

The strategy

Constituent emails can prompt an MP to raise the issue in Parliament and with ministers responsible for trade and animal protection. One email adds to that pressure, but it is only a small part of the campaign.

Why it scored 67

Scale: Big

Guess of under 1 million ducks and geese a year, based on UK import volumes; no source gives a figure.

Severity: Extreme

Per Animal Equality, force-feeding by pipe several times a day causes intense and prolonged suffering.

Chance of success: Plausible

The Labour Party promised a ban before the 2024 election, but reports say the Government may be stepping back, so the outcome could go either way.

Your difference: Moderate

MPs pay attention to constituents, so a personal email adds to the campaign, but 1,142 others have already written.
