Petition Seeking to Ban Balut in NYC Restaurant
The balut may be a symbol of our Filipino-ness, but one animal rights activist in New York City may not think so. According to Gabrielle Hardy, even balut has rights, and wants it off the menu of Maharlika, a popular Filipino restaurant in the city.
As part of her campaign to get balut off the menu, Hardy created an online petition, saying that it is disgusting and should not be served in a restaurant.

I say to them, don't eat in that restaurant if you don't want to see people eating balut.
I do the same to those restaurants serving foie gras, not that I eat in fancy restaurants though.

Och.
I don't fancy ever eating balut and I'm also an animal lover but I think this character is making a mountain out of a molehill.
It's not like the Middle East where they bring live monkeys to a restaurant's table.
