Foie gras protests to continue

The Central Texas Animal Defense announced early this morning that it would continue its twice-weekly, anti-foie gras protests outside Restaurant Jezebel on South Congress Avenue despite a new round of vandalism that might involve one of the demonstrators.

Jezebel’s windows were damaged by acid last week. Restaurant chef-owner Parind Vora said his video cameras captured the vandalism on film, which shows it was done by a man who participated hours beforehand in a demonstration in front of the restaurant. Police have issued an arrest warrant for the individual.

“No matter the outcome of the police investigations, there will be no justice until Restaurant Jezebel stops supporting the cruel foie gras industry,” anti-foie gras campaign coordinator Noah Cooper said in a statement sent to the media.
