LONDON -- British animal rights activists staged a topless protest on Thursday against what they called the "naked cruelty" involved in creating foie gras.

The protest by supporters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) took place on London's Oxford Street opposite upmarket department store Selfridges, urging them to stop stocking it.

The activists waved heart-shaped signs featuring the slogan "Have a heart -- drop foie gras".

PETA wants Selfridges to follow the lead of other British retailers which have stopped stocking foie gras, which means "fatty liver" and is created by force-feeding ducks.

A spokeswoman for Selfridges said it sold both foie gras and a "welfare-friendly" version, adding: "If customers continue to buy any product then we will continue to have it there for them."
