We humans are horrible animals.

[KmeyHamato]

you are so cruel, immature, perfid.

You are a proof that humans are selfish.

You abuse smaller and defendless specie to make you feel superior.

Im sure you are a very sad person living alone in the basement.

So, actually killing a goose is less cruel than just pluckig it and letting it live? You've gotta be kidding me ;D

[Bayli Elliot]

"They wanted to be plucked" Did they tell you that? No. So don't say that they wanted to be plucked.

Grey geese, which are bred for foie gras, are plucked once or twice before being slaughtered at 12 weeks old; white geese, bred for meat, are plucked up to three times before being slaughtered at around 26 weeks.

I still don't understand why they are live plucking. Do the birds grow back the down material? or is it used so that blood doesn't stain the feathers? I don't understand why ?
