DEFENDING THE New York City FOIE GRAS BAN IN COURT

On August 3 2023, APA member Voters for Animal Rights (VFAR) played a crucial role in defending New York City's foie gras sales ban —which they were instrumental in passing—against a lawsuit. APA supported the effort through grant funds to help VFAR hire legal counsel. Although the law now faces new challenges from the New York state government, the court's ruling upholding the ban represented a significant victory for the animals.
