Geese are likely to enter strong relationships, are loving parents and make great guards on a farm. Sadly, geese suffer appalling cruelty as livestock, where their feathers are used to produce down for winter fashion and bedding, and the production of the delicacy 'foie gras' causes immense suffering.
Down is a common filling material used in fashion and textiles worldwide, and is especially used by fashion brands who cater for winter or outdoor apparel.
FOUR PAWS, one of the world’s largest animal protection organisations, began because of fur. But our mission to end the suffering of animals abused for fashion has only just begun.
