Duchess of Hamilton Boycotts Selfridges

The Duchess of Hamilton has sent Selfridges’ CEO Paul Kelly a strongly worded letter informing him that she and her husband, the Duke of Hamilton, will be boycotting the store until it stops selling foie gras. She also states she will “encourage our friends and family to do the same” – ouch. Now that’s not the sort of letter you want to receive from a lady of high standing in our society. The Duke and Duchess are vegetarians and have done great things for animals over the years, and all at PETA thank them for their kindness and support in our campaign against foie gras. In a nutshell, foie gras is the fatty liver of ducks and geese who are force-fed using long, inflexible tubes. You can read more in the Duchess’ letter below.

I had an impression all the ‘rich folks’ were the worst supporters of animals cruelty.. ie. they buy and wear real animals furs (without a shred of shame) and htey purchase and consume the ‘delicacy of despair’ agian apparently with no concern whatsover re.the suffering of htese poor tormented birds.
well..I guess I have been proved wrong.. ‘they are not ‘all the same’.. and hte Duchess and Duke of Hamilton have proved to be the contrary.. kind hearted, considerate and compassionate people..
I hope their letter will make the people at Selfridges ’sit up a bit’.. and take note..ie. that tormenting and torturing thousands of geese and ducks for this so-called ‘delicacy’ .. is simply just not worth it..
