Voters in Washington, DC, decide to ban sale of foie gras

Washington voters have approved a ban on foie gras, with 73% supporting Initiative 86, which prohibits force-feeding birds and selling related products. Despite the ban, legal challenges from producers and restaurants are anticipated. Currently, there are no foie gras farms in Washington, but violators could face significant fines. Similar bans exist in California and other cities, while New York's previous attempt remains unresolved due to legal disputes.
