Quelle excellente nouvelle ! Ça en laissera plus pour nous :-D
I came here to say the same thing. But it reads much better in the original French.

I encourage you to learn more about it. It is not harmful or painful or cruel, the animals come willingly to the person who feeds them.
The animals are literally force fed with a tube. The animal's liver swells to many times its normal size. I am not sure what you are talking about. There is a reason why this practice is controversial to begin with. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?
Disclaimer: I don't eat foie gras and don't advocate it either.

I can’t help thinking that this has little to do with foie gras, but is part of wider push by vegetarians to ban meat eating. You could argue that an animal had a bad time for any meat.
One could certainly make a case for banning animal slaughter, but I suppose it would be practical only after we have good meat substitutes.
But in the meantime we could perhaps ban wanton cruelty such as Foie Gras. I'll add veal too to the list now.
Well foie gras was a horrifying thing to learn about! This seems hard to excuse.

I was surprised to learn that India is the only country[1] to ban the production and import of Foie Gras. Very few people would even know about the dish in India. But anyway, I hope this torturous practice comes to an end worldwide. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras_controversy
This ban seems rather hypocritical to me given the atrocities happening in mass meat production.
While there are absolutely terrible things happening in Foie Gras production (I would never, ever buy any products from Hungary, as a for example) the really good stuff is raised quite humanely.[1]
To me this just looks like an attempt for quick political gain without any advantage to any factory raised animal (which, for the record, I regard as one of our biggest moral failings as humans).

Just banning the practice of force feeding would make more sense.
You can find a few things online about those alternative way https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=487088946

Do you eat meat at all? If so, how were the animals raised, slaughtered and processed? This ban seems rather hypocritical to me given the atrocities happening in mass meat production.
