A petition campaign is underway to secure a place on the 2025 election ballot in Denver to ban foie gras in the Mile High City.  

This year, the campaign sponsor calls itself “Pro-Animal Colorado,” which failed to get Denver voters to close an employee-owned lamb slaughterhouse last year.  It then went by the name “Pro-Animal Future.”
