Eighty
percent of the world's down and feathers come from China, so PETA and PETA Asia
went there to document how these feathers are often obtained.
Eyewitnesses saw workers at these farms—several of which were traced to
so-called "responsible" suppliers—rip geese's feathers out while they were fully
conscious, causing excruciating pain and leaving open, bloody wounds.
Farmers and others who deal with these so-called "responsible" and "non
live-pluck" suppliers bragged to eyewitnesses about producing or selling
live-plucked down, and one even admitted to misleading consumers.
Join us
in urging Eddie Bauer, Lands' End, Hollander Sleep Products, and other brands to
stop using real goose down. And if you're considering buying a down item, such
as a jacket, a sleeping bag, or bedding, please remember the geese and choose
compassionate, vegan options instead.
