Put pressure on Thrupps grocer to stop selling Cruel Foie Gras

Foie gras is a paté made from fattened duck or goose liver. The method they use to fatten the bird is:
A) Keeping them in cages too small to move so that they don't burn too many calories
B) Forcefeeding them through a tube several times a day
So basically the bird is dirty (because it doesn't have room to clean itself); never gets to see the light of day; and is force-fed until it dies of a diseased liver.
There is shocking footage of this available, though I warn you that 'what has been seen can not be unseen'
Foie gras production is thankfully banned in South Africa, but unfortunately the sale of it is not - which means that grocers like Thrupps can support this cruel industry by purchasing and reselling foie gras.
We, as animal lovers (and simply decent human beings) need to let Thrupps know that we will not be supporting the Thrupps centre unless they decide to stop selling this abhorrent product.
