It's time to get the Pearl Brasserie foie gras free!
Hi,
Instead of the usual weekly events, we'll be having a special "Pearl Brasserie Week of Action", with protests every night that they are open next week, to put pressure on the restaurant to stop serving foie gras. We've been protesting this restaurant since April 2008 - it's time to show them just how serious we are about this campaign!
We realise that most people won't be able to make it in every night, but if you could commit to coming even two nights of the week, we'd really appreciate it.
WHEN: 7.30pm - 9pm, every night from Mon. 10th - Sat. 15th August
WHERE: The Pearl Brasserie (20 Merrion Street Upper, Dublin 2)
Let's get them to finally go foie-gras-free!

Foie Gras should not be allowed in this country.
Boycott the Pearl Brasserie
You never go outside there do yas ? Strange aint it-do yas shop there?
We are currently negotiating the foie gras issue with Fallon & Byrne, and therefore have halted protests - for now anyway.
And although this should be obvious, we would never shop in any store that we are protesting, boycotting, or have issues with. We are not hypocrites in this group!
Negotiating!? Well you havn't got very far-Lets just be honest about it-you are not happy to protest at a shop where you and members of your group shop at? I was thinking of joining up with you guys as I was impressed by a protest you had in the docklands but the camp I belong to is the "NO NEGOTIATION" one so I don't think I would fit in well with "sell outs" and let me put in on record I will be monitoring your "progress" with fallon and byrne A SHOP WHICH DISGRACEFULLY SELLS FOIE GRAS.
Wayne, I don't know what your problem is - or who you believe is shopping in Fallon & Byrne (because members of OUR group certainly aren't), but you really need to calm yourself down (and perhaps stop stalking the wrong animal rights activists?).
We don't believe in jeopardising campaigns, which is why we've entered into talks with the management of Fallon & Byrne, to give them a chance. These things take time - much like the anti-fur campaign at Brown Thomas.
Maybe you are unable to grasp the concept of running a professional and effective campaigns? Otherwise you wouldn't confuse practical tactics with "selling out". But if you think you could achieve better, then please do go ahead!
Feel free to monitor our progress, but don't spend your time stalking us or trolling - do something that actually matters.
Chill out and get a grip on yourself please.
If you have solid evidence of hypocricy then show it (I know you don't)
You could be thinking of another group....?
But please slow down and get a grip on the facts before posting such awful comments about very genuine and committed people!
