Ban the import of down feathers into Britain Due to barbaric practice

Petition Details

The coldhearted and cruel down industry often plucks geese alive in order to get their down—the soft layer of feathers closest to a bird's skin. These feathers are used to produce clothing and comforters, but for geese, the down industry's methods are anything but comfortable.

Additional Information

birds in breeding may be plucked repeatedly while they are still alive.
Plucking causes geese and ducks considerable pain and distress.they are lifted by their necks or delicate wings, their legs are physically restrained or tied, and their feathers are ripped right out of their skin. The birds are plucked so hard that their skin is torn open. Plucking may begin when the animals are just 10 weeks old and be repeated in six-week intervals until the birds are slaughtered for meat
