Foie gras and badger culling would be banned under Labour proposals

Other animal welfare proposals include mandatory CCTV in abattoirs and post-Brexit safeguards

Foie gras and badger culling would be banned under new animal welfare measures proposed by the Labour party, in a move described by activists as "the beginning of the end of cruel factory farming".

The practice of force-feeding geese and ducks in order to fatten up their livers is widely considered cruel and inhumane, leading Labour to advocate an end to imports of the delicacy in a new policy document released on Wednesday.
