This is indeed good news. Many French people are opposed to foie gras and it is mostly the producers (they don't deserve the word "farmers") who are so protective of their livelihood. Much of the foie gras is exported to other countries, where the actual process is banned but the product is still popular in restaurants. Those countries could help in the fight against foie gras by banning its importation - but mostly all we get is excuses.
But cruelty is cruelty and this terrible practice must be stopped. The prosecution could well lead the way to foie gras becoming more and more unpopular, even if France and/or the EU drags its feet on legislation. I'm glad that it is being well publicised.
