Video shows geese being force-fed at a French foie gras farm

An animal charity has released shocking footage of geese being force-fed at a French foie gras farm - in a bid to stop people buying the "cruel" food at Christmas. Animal Equality claim it filmed in secret while on a public tour of La Ferme Turnac in Domme near Toulouse in southern France in August. Footage shows farmers trapping the birds using a metal holder before shoving a long tube down their throats and pumping them full of food. In some clips the birds can be seen trying to pull away before they are trapped, and workers massaging their necks while forcing food into their stomachs.
