Una buona notizia... - Nemesi Animale

Buone notizie: la sezione inglese di Amazon, il più grande sito di vendita online del mondo, ha deciso di bandire il foie-gras in seguito ad una campagna dell'associazione Viva.

Il patè di fegato d'oca è nella lista nera dei prodotti assieme a tutti quelli derivanti dall'uccisione di elefanti, squali, delfini e specie protette e grazie a questo impegno più di 100 prodotti che lo contenevano sono stati rimossi dal sito di Amazon Uk.

Il foie-gras deriva da alimentazione forzata e prigionia. Si tratta di una delle pratiche di produzione di cibo animale più invasive ed è vietata in tanti paesi di tutto il mondo, inclusa Italia.

Se vuoi saperne di più e aiutare a fermare questa pratica ignobile, visita il sito di Animal Equality Italia --> www.foie-gras.it

Stop plucking live goose (CCTV for ALL Slaughterhouses)

Please sign the two petitions to stop the live plucking of birds for down....

In the EU there is a ban on live feather plucking, but this doesn't keep companies from using down from live plucking. The biggest producers are Poland, Hungary, and China, who produce thousands of tons. In 2008 FOUR PAWS filmed this cruel practice on 3 farms in Hungary. The pictures show geese in appalling conditions. In this case the birds were even tortured with 3 weeks of force feeding for foie gras after the live feather plucking.

Meat geese are feather plucked 3 – 4 times in their lives and one time after their death.
The picking is done by so called ‘feather brigades’, groups of up to 20 persons travelling around and working on a contract basis. They are paid per plucked animal and so they try to do as many animals in as short a time as possible.
Live plucking is extremely painful and traumatic for the birds and leaves them unprotected from the cold.
Birds panic so much that they can strangle themselves as they get caught up in fences.
Plucking can rip the skin and wounds are sewn up without sedation or pain relief.

Please don't buy down products or ornamental feathers, for more info on live plucking and abusive practices on roosters and ostriches for feathers, please see the link....

Birds TORTURED for The North Face

The North Face stuffs its jackets and sleeping bags with feathers from birds who are force-fed for the cruel production of foie gras.

Force-feeding is a painful process in which birds have tubes rammed down their throats and their stomachs pumped so full of corn mush that their livers swell to as much as 10 times their normal size. Foie gras producers boost their profits by selling the feathers from these force-fed birds.

Other birds used for down are often pinned down as hurried workers yank fistfuls of feathers from the birds' sensitive bodies while they are still alive, often plucking them so violently that they rip open the birds' delicate skin, and then sew up the gaping wounds using a needle and thread and no painkillers.

The vast majority of birds used for down spend their entire lives in crowded, filthy conditions on factory farms. When they are sent to slaughter, their throats are slit—often while fully conscious—and many are scalded to death in defeathering tanks. All down comes from birds who suffer and die violently and painfully.
