If you haven’t already snagged a copy of this week’s Hello! magazine, it’s time you picked up your purse and headed to the shop. Pronto. For gracing the pages of this issue, is the one and only Sir Roger ‘James Bond’ Moore, writing all about his favourite (or I should say, his pet peeve) subject – the foie gras industry.
With a full page feature, written by the foie-gras foe himself, and photos of the cruel industry, it’s sure to turn a few heads and stop readers in their tracks. And the former 007 agent is certainly not one to shy away from the gruesome details, as he writes of the investigation video that he narrated for PETA, “Some of the birds have holes in their necks from pipe injuries, many have bloody beaks and mangled wings, and others are dangling by wires with blood spilling from their necks.” His principal target is, of course, Selfridges, of which he says, “I have informed Selfridges owner Galen Weston that until his store stops this disgusting product, I will have no choice but to shop elsewhere… I enclosed the PETA video, in the hope that it will open his eyes to the cruelty he is supporting by selling foie gras”.
But of course the feature does also throw in a few dodgy Bond puns that I’ve resisted here, just for good measure. Go buy!
