Why is Foie Gras legal ?

Foie gras, a very high class French dish enjoyed by many across the world. But what about its cruelty ? Ducks are pure animals of nature, however they have to undergo days of painful force feeding through excruciating metal tubes. Within the years of 2009 and 2017 France declared the hunting of birds illegal due to the lack of biodiversity and the massive hunting all around its ecosystem. Maybe the slaughter of ducks cannot be stopped because of its high intake, but atleast the cruelty of the foie gras procedure can be stopped. In case you want to know how bad it is. Ducks are basically forced to enlarge from 80grams to 1kg, so the fattened liver can be of desire to the human taste while the ducks suffer for over a month , urinating blood due to the gushing blood down their esophagus because of the long metal tubes that shove 1/2kg of food daily. Where is the sense of humanity we as humans should have ? How could you eat that after knowing what’s done to the poor ducks. It’s true that I am not a vegan, but I know that chicken , sheep and cows are not undergoing literal torture to be slaughtered. Be better. Do better.
