Duck, Duck, Goose!  In this series of short shows, Hope will focus in on specific aspects of animal agriculture and answer the question of why are we vegan. In this fifth installment of the Reason for Vegan Series she talks about ducks and geese exploited in industry and the hidden cruelties of down, feathers, foie gras, and duck meat. 

Ducks and geese are waterfowl who not only desire to be in water, they need water for their health and well-being. When waterfowl are commodified in the industry, they are kept in filthy dark sheds without sufficient water to submerge themselves in. If they can’t bathe in water, they experience miserable conditions that are unique to their evolutionary need for water.
