Everybody knows Scott Niedermayer is a great hockey player. Turns out he is a true duck defenceman in every sense of the word. In conjunction with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the Anaheim captain recently sent letters to Chicago city council members urging them not to repeal the city's ban on foie gras, which is made from the fatted livers of ducks and geese. "As an Anaheim Duck, I hate to see real ducks tortured so that a handful of wealthy chefs can serve their diseased organs," Niedermayer wrote.
