| Niedermayer loves ducks He's defending the rights of real ducks - from nhl.com:
Niedermayer sent a letter to the 50 members of the Chicago City Council, urging them to resist efforts to repeal the city's ban on foie gras - the delicacy from enlarged livers of force-fed ducks and geese.
"As an Anaheim Duck, I hate to see real ducks tortured so that a handful of wealthy chefs can serve their diseased organs," wrote Niedermayer, a B.C. native who was the playoff MVP last season. "Please uphold this compassionate law."
I had no idea - i just thought it was gross so i stayed away from it. Production of foie gras is banned in the UK, the Czech republic, germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, norway, Denmark, Switzerland and Israel.
It will be illegal to sell In California in 2012.
I like Niedermayer more each day. |
