Voters in Washington, D.C. have approved Initiative 86, banning the sale and production of foie gras in the city. The ban, which takes effect on July 1, 2023, is a result of a viral campaign by Pro-Animal DC. The initiative aims to stop the force-feeding of birds for the luxury dish, with violators facing fines between $1,000 and $5,000.
