Thank you 007.
You are the best!I love you!
Keep fighting for the animals.

I cannot believe people still eat something that is produced in such a cruel way. It's bad enough that those who eat meat are happy to see any animal reared and killed for the sake of a tasty meal but to support this cruel practice is sick.

OK, debate over, Roger Moore was the best Bond ever!

What a nice and generous man, Roger Moore is. Shame the owner of Selfridges, is not half as nice. But, then if the public did not buy foie gras, then they would not stock it.

What a great guy!

I don't see the difference between someone buying up the current stock of Foie gras or it remaining on the menu until it's depleted as long as the restaurant doesn't order any more. Whether Mr. Moore disposes of it or the restaurant keeps it on the menu, that stock has been made and no ducks will be saved by him buying it himself

Well done, Roger!

Sir Rog Moore is DEF MY favourite 007!.. becasue he has a heart of gold.. and cares and is speaking up about the suffering of all these poor ducks/geese used or force fed should i say for the production of this so called 'foie gras' .. Selfridges.. do yourself a favour get rid of all your supplies/stock of this 'delicacy of despair' be.. animal cruelty free .. because the fact that Selfriges still sell foie gras shows that its management/directors are pretty much icey stone hearted compassionless people.. SHAME on Selfridges..!! and no.. I dont' shop at Selfridges either..

Thank you so much Roger for using your high profile and your time to give these innocent creatures a voice.

I wouldn't care if Roger Moore is the next Pope, Sean Connery is the only James Bond.

Posted by: Edward | September 19, 2009 07:43 PM

Sweet!!! thanks 007!!

I gotta agree that Sir Roger was the best Bond ever. His dry sense of humour slays you every time, and he's a great animal defender.

Tom,

It gets it quickly off Selfridges' shelves, and hopefully persuades other stores to also drop this abominable product, or be seen as the heartless bastards they are.

I am disgusted and so proud
of Roger Moore taking on the
so called establishment.

Posted by: Jennifer Linford | September 21, 2009 01:28 PM

I think Roger Moore is a Saint!

Posted by: jeanette Foster | September 30, 2009 05:42 PM

Well Roger you were always the "Saint"! Time to get that Volvo P1800 coupe polished and ready for action! Oh and your "Bond" was exemplary!

Posted by: chris beal | October 1, 2009 01:08 AM

Well done, Sir Roger Moore !

Posted by: Joaquim Carvalho Mota | October 1, 2009 02:31 PM

This comment probably won't get shown, but oh well.

because the fact that Selfriges still sell foie gras shows that its management/directors are pretty much icey stone hearted compassionless people.. SHAME on Selfridges..!!

My mom's ex-husband owns the store, and he's not icy stone hearted at all.

I don't like foie gras, but I have no problem with people that do.

Roger Moore must have raised a few eyebrows when he got involved in this campaign. A saint in more ways than one.

Posted by: Jerry Howse | November 16, 2009 04:26 PM

Remember: He was the star of "The Persuaders" even before 007...!

I am thrilled to learn that Sir Roger is suporting efforts to get this vile product banned. Anybody who eats it - or defends the eating of it - obviously hasn't seen photos or video footage of exactly what goes on. Most people think the geese are freely wandering around a pretty orchard with a kindly old farmer shoving grain down their necks from time to time. It's NOT like that, it's vile and cruel and the french in particular turn a blind eye to the production of it.The brits however should know better than to sell or serve it. I live in St Paul de Vence in southern France and I am sick of how many restos serve it. I always tell the waiters every time we eat out that we don't eat it, if everyone did that that when they visit a restaurant either in France or the UK, it would help hopefully.

Sir Roger - hats off

Posted by: Sanjay Wadher | November 17, 2009 08:00 AM

How can I personally thank him, that is wonderful that a celebrity got involved and spoke out about it since most people think celebs are like Gods!
Also can we thank that store somehow?

Posted by: Wendy Morris | November 17, 2009 06:43 PM

Thank you!!!

Posted by: Ana Silva | November 18, 2009 08:33 PM

Thank you Roger for being so caring, I wish there was more people like you in the world. God bless you x
