I've came across this video about downs recently, and thought might share this with you guys......
The topic of this particular video is 'Chilling Cruelty in the Down Industry'

I've seen that some companies claim to source "ethically responsible" down. Though unfortunately it is not always clear which companies so, and which ones don't.

Yes, I have heard about this... It is illegal to pluck live birds in Europe, but they might still do this in Asia:-(

The above document is likely biased, but an interesting perspective nonetheless.
