Poultry feathers, this may sound like normal, but in fact, really high-quality duck down and goose down are peeled off by hand on live birds, because slaughtered poultry can only be peeled mechanically, which will affect the quality of down feathers.
When it comes to live poultry extraction, this is another tragic aspect of the farming industry.
In Europe, there are many specialized feathering teams, both male and female, who pluck the down of the geese at the request of the farm, which is mainly the goose in Europe.
The plucker will grabs the legs and wings of the goose without emotion, and then plucks off all the down feathers on the goose's chest, back, under the wings and on the neck.
Grey geese are usually farmed in Europe, most of them are bred for foie gras, and the whole life cycle is about 26 weeks, and in this short period of 26 weeks, these grey geese usually need to be plucked twice, with an interval of about 5 weeks.
We live in an era where there is a clear division of labor in industry, and as consumers, most of us are only responsible for consuming the final goods, regardless of how the goods come to be. 
But if you go back to the source, you may find a lot more than we know, who would have thought that behind the white goose down would be bloody. The good news is that some well-known down jacket brands now claim to have given up on the use of down feathers taken from live birds.
