Down in 60 Seconds | Jesus People for Animals
Ever wondered where those feathers in your pillow came from? Go behind the scenes in the down industry for just one minute. Down is the soft layer of feathers closest to birds' skin, primarily in the chest region. These feathers are highly valued by manufacturers of down clothing and comforters because they don't have quills. While most down and other feathers are removed from ducks and geese during slaughter, birds in breeding flocks and those raised for meat and foie gras may be plucked repeatedly while they're still alive. Plucking causes geese and ducks considerable pain and distress. Typically, 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 struggling birds are often plucked so hard that their skin is torn open, and the hurried workers sew up the wounds using a needle and thread and no painkillers whatsoever. 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—long before they would naturally die. Is this how Christians are to love and care for the "least of these"? • Learn more: http://www.peta.org/features/down-investigation.aspx • Jesus People for Animals: http://www.JesusPeopleforAnimals.com • What the Bible says about animals: http://www.jesuspeopleforanimals.com/scripture-and-testimonies/ • Subscribe: http://youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=officialpeta • How to go vegan: http://features.peta.org/how-to-go-vegan/ • FAQs: http://www.jesuspeopleforanimals.com/scripture-and-testimonies/faqs/

I was thinking of getting a couple of king size down feather pillows, but after seeing this I would never think of getting one. How can we be so cruel? The feathers were being plucked right off their body while they were still ALIVE!
I saw the cruelty behind foie gras but had no idea about this. Thank you PETA for sharing and awareness. -
