La Petite Iza – Activism

February 2 @ 10:00 am - February 16 @ 10:00 am

Phone and Email Campaign to have them remove foie gras before we show up with megaphones and disrupt their cozy dining experience.
Here is a link to the foie gras post on their Facebook page:

🚨Hello everyone. This restaurant has blocked us on a few sites already. However not all of them. I am asking that if anyone is apposed to the production and sale of Foie Gras (where ducks have a pipe shoved down their throats and they are force fed until their liver is grotesquely fattened for sale) please email this restaurant and let them know of your displeasure.
📷They have displayed for you a picture of the dead duck all served up for consumption.
📣We are asking them to remove this item and replace it with a less torturous item like a potato dish.
❗️ I am not wanting you to be rude, just show concern for the sale of this item due to its inherent cruelty. (This is a low hanging fruit item and a lot of restaurants are being pressured enough to drop this item before any further action is necessary).
👉We already had a campaign last year, however they failed to comply so we are solidifying our asks before we take the next step.
👉Here is there email address:

Sample Letter:
To whom it may concern,
I am reaching out once again on behalf of our group regarding the continued presence of foie gras on La Petite Iza’s menu. As you may recall, we previously engaged in discussions with your team, during which we respectfully urged the removal of this item due to its extreme ethical concerns. We appreciated the opportunity to speak with your manager at the time, who assured us that our message would be relayed. However, despite multiple follow-ups, we have yet to receive any response or indication of action taken.
Let me be clear: we are not going to back down. Our position remains steadfast, and our commitment to ending the sale of foie gras is unwavering. The cruelty inherent in its production is undeniable, and we will continue to advocate against it until it is no longer served at your establishment.
While my personal health delayed our immediate return, we will be back. Once the weather improves, we will resume direct action, including peaceful protests and disruptions. Our goal is not conflict, but change—and we urge you to make the ethical choice before further action becomes necessary.
We ask once more for your cooperation in this matter. Please do the right thing and remove foie gras from your menu. We look forward to your response, however it is not necessary. We have a date planned, the rest is up to you.
Sincerely,
Gereen Anders
