No matter how one tries to “cleanse” this brutal and abusive practice, the description of each step amplifies the numerous abuses these birds are exposed to from a week old. The electrocution of the water bath, before slitting their throats, doesn’t always “put them to sleep”. Instead, many remain awake and alive as they “bleed out” for 3 hrs. Imagine being taken way from their mothers, and brought up in large enclosures crammed in with 5000 other youngster. No matter he w you paint the reality it isn’t an ideal life, or the one a duck deserves. Small tubes and liquid force feeding doesn’t change the unnatural, abusive process these birds are borne to endure. I’m for nurturing small family farmers, but any operation that tortures animals, and pretends to kill them painlessly needs to be closed. These farmers need to find a more sustainable alternative to abusing animals for an unhealthy substance like fatty duck liver.
