Duvets and Pillows

Many people are unaware of the extreme suffering that is inflicted on geese and ducks whose down feathers – the softest layer closest to the birds’ skin – are used to stuff duvets and pillows (and coats and jackets). While some down and feathers are removed from birds during slaughter, many birds – primarily geese – have their feathers plucked while they are still alive, which causes immense pain and distress. See this news story for more details.
