Have just read an article in Smallholder about a truly awful practice within Europe and China.

The WSPA have highlighted the plight of geese which are being live-plucked for their down up to 4 times a year.

More details are available at a thought provoking subject.

I just read the article. It sounds horrendous. I've always bought "down" filled duvets - it's certainly made me think about buying another one!

I've just seen the video too - it's AWFUL! I shan't be buying down products again.
