Ducks and geese are some of America's best known and beloved animals. Adept in water, land and air, these birds fly hundreds of miles each year to migrate. Both birds fly and swim in formations that reduce air and water resistance for the birds in the rear. Ducks live in couples or groups, while pairs of geese mate for life, mourning for a significant amount of time when their partners die.
These birds are severely abused by the meat and foie gras industries. Those that are raised for their flesh spend their entire lives crammed in dirty, dark sheds where they suffer from injury and disease and are deprived of everything that is natural to them.
Ducks and geese raised for 'foie gras' endure the pain of having a pipe shoved down their throats three times daily so that two pounds of grain can be pumped into their stomachs to produce the diseased 'fatty liver' that some diners consider a delicacy. Foie gras production has been deemed cruel and inhumane by experts worldwide. The state of California recently passed a law banning foie gras because the production methods are so cruel. Please let these intelligent and beautiful creatures live the lives they were meant to live, in peace. Thank you for listening. Ducky and Goosy send their love.

I wish you could shout it from every rooftop!
Dear "faithless", I am sitting on the world's roof top and shouting it with stentorian voice. 'See them live, listen to the music in their voices, listen to their pleas, please". They are saying, "We look much better alive than on a plate -- don't eat us for goodness sake".
Thanks Faithless for cariing.
