Stop Goose Down Practices

Target: European Union
Region: GLOBAL
Web site: http://www.veganera.com/NewsA1305.htm
Background (Preamble):
Feathers that you use in your pillows, blankets and clothing come from somewhere. Most notably, from animals. This is deemed acceptable as it is cheap and 'humane' as there feathers are used after slaughter.
A new, horrifying treatment is plucking the feathers from live geese.
Instead of just plucking the bird once after slaughter you can pluck the bird several times while it is still alive. This equates to more money.

Petition:
Please, help us urge all governments around the world to put an end to goose down practices and stop the needless slaughter and pain inflected on our beautiful animal friends.
