"The Mechanical Gobbler (controlled by computer...) is now in use on farms, which stuffs geese and ducks [...] through a tube permanently planted in the victim's esophagus: cooked and salted corn enters it three times a day day for three weeks, a total of fifteen kilograms of corn, with the additional martyrdom of fourteen hours of light bombardment every day, in very crowded enclosures. [...] The only punishment for those who in turn gorge themselves on that liver, the chemical residues of the treatment... A natural system instead is to leave the newborns without food when they emerge from the immense broods artificial: with that memory in its body the adult animal will have an insatiable hunger and will enthusiastically collaborate in the foie gras industry. (Guido Ceronetti)"
