The animal rights group that tried to shut down a slaughterhouse in Denver has a new target: banning foie gras.

Pro-Animal Colorado, formerly known as Pro-Animal Future, submitted a proposed ballot initiative earlier this month that would ban the sale in Denver of foie gras, which is produced by force-feeding birds. The proposal would also ban force-feeding poultry in the city.

The proposed initiative is only in the beginning stage, so the details may change. Denver city staff hosted a public review of the proposal Tuesday, providing feedback for potential revisions.

A previous draft of the proposal included a ban on additional products like pâté and duck fat, but Pro-Animal Colorado said those products were removed because they don’t require force-feeding.
