Geese and ducks are known for being outgoing and sociable animals, but unfortunately, both are subjected to cruel treatment in the livestock industry. They are subjected by the meat industry, their feathers are used for down in winter fashion and bedding, and the production of the food product 'foie gras' leads to immense suffering.
Both these farmed birds require a greater freedom of movement and opportunities to engage in natural behaviours such as preening, bathing, and swimming.
Every year, billions of ducks and millions of geese endure repeated cruel treatment and poor living conditions to supply down feathers to the fashion and textile industries
During the holiday season, foie gras is sometimes served as part of the celebratory meal, but there are many alternatives available which are more humane
