Prohibit the force-feeding of birds

Summary

The bill makes it illegal to force‑feed any domestic bird—such as chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, or quail—and to sell or distribute products that come from force‑fed birds. Violations are handled as civil offenses, with a warning for the first offense and a fine of up to $100 for each later offense. It targets producers, handlers, and sellers of foie gras, fattened carcasses, feathers, down, and similar items.
