Anoraks, duvets, and other items filled with down are actually filled with suffering and cruelty.

Imagine that you or the person you love most are kidnapped and confined in deplorable conditions of overcrowding and filth where you can barely breathe. You are torn from the lifestyle that is natural to you and that you love, swimming in beautiful aquatic environments and enjoying your freedom as you fly with your loved ones for thousands of kilometers on your long migrations.

All that happiness is gone forever. Why? Because it serves to enrich the wretched who exploit and mistreat you and to satisfy the whims of their accomplices who buy garments filled with your pain.

From now on, you will be constantly under high levels of stress. In such harsh and maddening conditions, you will stop behaving normally and become aggressive, attacking each other and often plucking your own feathers.

Many will try to escape such a toxic environment, dying as they crush each other. Furthermore, overcrowding and filth will allow diseases to spread unchecked.

But the worst is yet to come. Because after a few weeks, heartless individuals will come and take you to the torture chamber, where they will hold you firmly while plucking your hair, without any anesthesia. You will scream in pain, but your torturers will remain indifferent, because it benefits them, and they reduce you to a mere thing unworthy of empathy.

And also because they are speciesist, anthropocentric exploiters and supremacists who believe they are superior to you and can therefore do whatever they please with you, no matter how much suffering they cause.

This horror will be inflicted upon you every 6 weeks. This may leave you with open wounds, which your torturer will stitch with needle and thread without using painkillers. It is even possible that you may die as a result of the procedure.

And if you survive, you will still be sent to the slaughterhouse to be killed at a much younger age than your life expectancy would be under normal conditions.

This repetitive process not only prolongs your physical suffering but also increases your stress and fear, resulting in an extremely poor quality of life.

How would you feel and what would you think about all of this?

Well, what you don’t want for yourself, don’t do to others. Because that is what they do to 3.4 billion (with a B) geese and ducks who have nociceptors in their skin, that is, pain receptors, just like us, which makes us feel pain if our hair is plucked.

The follicular wall of the feather is rich in afferent somatic sensory fibers, and nerves are present in the papilla muscles, making the plucking process extremely painful for birds.

Veterinarians, and even goose breeders, consider this practice “extremely cruel.” Tying the birds’ legs over their backs while they are plucked is also cruel.

During feather extraction, without any painkillers, wings are broken and various untreated wounds are generated, meaning the animals feel 100% of the pain throughout the entire process. It is so intense and prolonged that it sometimes leads to heart attacks.

And it leads to such a level of horror and anguish that it causes psychological traumas resulting in self-harming behaviors, lethargy, and apathy.

Fortunately, more and more companies are stopping the manufacture of products with feathers, and more consumers are stopping buying them.
