🇧🇷Brazil's Chamber of Deputies has passed a bill to ban the production & sale of foie gras.
If Lula signs, it's a Latin American first.
A production ban alone still lets the cruelty in through imports. Sales bans like this closes the gap👏

Ministers should secure an explicit animal welfare carve-out in trade negotiations. Imports must meet the same welfare standards required of UK producers. Practices deemed unacceptable on British farms should not be permitted through imports
“You can’t promise to ban foie gras and fur sales, then quietly negotiate away the legal power to deliver on those promises. If it’s too cruel to produce here, it’s too cruel to import.” - Tashi Thomas, Head of UK Policy, API
