POLICE were called to York's Blue Bicycle restaurant after it was targeted by animal rights protestors.

Officers were called in to move on the demonstrators, who were protesting over its sale of foie gras pate.

It is the second time in three months the Fossgate restaurant has been targeted by animal lovers over its sale of the gourmet food, the production of which often involves force- feeding geese to produce a fatty liver to enhance its taste.
