The force feeding of geese is a cruel procedure in which a long tube is violently inserted into the goose's throat. The aim is to induce a liver disease, which causes damage to many of the body systems of the goose. The goose is practically dying, can hardly walk or breathe and is suffering intense pain when he is finally slaughtered. Many countries have prohibited the force feeding of geese. In Israel, the Israeli Supreme Court found it to be in violation of the Animal Protection Law and ruled that it should end no later than March 2005. The Ministry of Agriculture now tries to make new laws that will allow force feeding to continue, without an ending date. We plead the members of the Education Committee of the Knesset not to approve of any regulations that do not specify a date from which force feeding would be banned.
