The UK branch of the organization PeTA has announced their Person of the Year, and it’s 007 himself! Sir Roger Moore was given the recognition because of his work to get British department store Selfridges to stop selling foie gras. Moore even offered to buy the remaining stock of the delicacy.

He says, “I am deeply touched and thrilled to be awarded the Peta UK Person of the Year. When I first saw their video footage on foie gras production three years ago, I felt compelled to do something to help put a stop to this cruel delicacy”.

Moore appeared in PeTA’s posters asking Selfidges to stop selling the treat.  Selfidges is still selling foie gras.

Foie gras is made of the engorged livers of geese and ducks.
