This disturbing video about cruelty
to geese and ducks was published on 13 Dec 2012. Alicia Silverstone (vegan,
activist, actress and author of The Kind Diet) teams
up with PETA (People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals) to raise awareness of this cruelty.
Millions of geese and ducks are violently plucked until
they're bloody in order to make down-filled comforters and jackets. Buying down
supports the cruelty of the foie
gras industry, in which birds have tubes rammed down their throats and food
pumped into their stomachs in order to increase their liver size for profit.
Join activists like Alicia and buy only down-free products
that do not harm animals. For really good ideas about living a cruelty free
lifestyle, read Alicia’s blog about The Kind Life, or buy
the book online (The Kind Diet- an absolutely fantastic read!). On her website, Alicia also shares her cruelty-free
guide to holiday shopping.
Blessings!

one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living
expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile.”
