Viggers is urged to join foie gras fight
Animal rights activists are urging Sir Peter Viggers to donate cash from the sale of his duck house to their campaign.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal group has written to the Gosport MP asking for his support in ending the production of controversial luxury food foie gras.
As reported in The News, Mr Viggers is considering selling his 1,645 floating duck island, which he claimed for on parliamentary expenses.
PETA director Robbie LeBlanc said: 'Sir Peter has a chance to do something to help ducks who know nothing but suffering from the moment they arrive at foie gras farms.
'We're asking him to donate as much as he can to our campaign so that we can hasten the day when this torture in a tin is gone from UK store shelves for good.'
