ANIMAL rights campaigners are planning a weekend of action against a York restaurant because it has foie gras on the menu.

York Action for Animals (YAFA) says it intends holding demonstrations outside the Blue Bicycle in Fossgate on December 14, 15 and 16.

YAFA spokesman Matt Gibbons said he was expecting around 50 people to attend from throughout the North but believed it was possible that hundreds of people could turn up, brandishing placards and banners.
