VICTORY! FOIE GRAS OFFICIAL BANNED IN NYC!
Many thanks to and all activists involved!

History made in NYC.

Today marks a groundbreaking victory for animals. Voters For Animal Rights and New York City have won their lawsuit against the foie gras industry — and the ban is officially in effect.

Back in 2019, the New York City Council passed Intro 1378 (now Local Law 202), championed by former Council Member Carlina Rivera and led by Voters For Animal Rights. VFAR participated in the case as a proposed intervenor-appellant and amicus curiae.

Huge thanks to attorney Bryan Pease for helping make this victory possible.

This is more than a legal decision — it’s a historic moment for compassion. New York City is taking a stand against one of the most cruel and outdated practices in the food industry.

As VFAR President Allie Taylor shared, this ruling affirms New York City’s right to govern in the interest of its residents — human and nonhuman alike — and shows the power of people coming together to demand justice and compassion.

This victory belongs to every advocate, volunteer, supporter, and voter who refused to accept cruelty as the status quo. 🦆 🪿 💜

Bullfighting is a horrific and outdated practice that ends terribly for the bulls 💔

Approximately 250,000 bulls are killed in bullrings worldwide EACH YEAR, enduring physical and emotional distress for the sake of entertainment of others 😰

A new large-scale review of plant-based diets in children has confirmed that meat-free diets can be a healthy option - when they’re well planned and include key micronutrient supplementation 🌱

The analysis looked at 59 studies covering nearly 50,000 children and found vegetarian and vegan diets can support normal growth, improve cardiovascular health and lead to lower total cholesterol compared with omnivorous diets.

While children eating meat-free diets were, on average, slightly leaner and a little shorter, their height and weight still sat comfortably within normal healthy ranges -despite recent headlines suggesting otherwise.

The Vegan Society offers free nutrition resources to help families meet children’s dietary needs, plus guidance from our in-house dietitians.

New York has taken a clear step toward cruelty free beauty.

In December 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the New York Cruelty Free Cosmetics Act into law. The law took effect on January 1, 2023.

Under this law, cosmetics cannot be sold in New York if the product or its ingredients were tested on animals after the cutoff date. This applies to items like makeup, lotion, shampoo, and other personal care products.

For years, animals such as rabbits and rodents have been used in cosmetic safety tests. These tests often involve applying chemicals to the skin or eyes to measure reactions. Many consumers have questioned why animals should suffer for products meant for beauty and daily grooming.

The law does not ban all animal testing in every industry. It focuses on cosmetics. It also includes limited exceptions if testing is required by a regulatory authority. Even with those limits, the message is clear. Companies that want to sell beauty products in New York must move away from new animal testing.

New York joins other states that have passed similar laws. Together, these state actions are putting pressure on the beauty industry to invest in modern testing methods that do not rely on animals.

For shoppers across the United States, this law reflects a growing demand for transparency and higher standards. Many people want to know that their purchases do not support unnecessary suffering. With this law in place, New York is using its market power to push the industry in a different direction.
