You don’t. You get down from a duck.

      They don’t pluck live ducks (or geese), you know.

      I put it to you that the use of plastic down is much crueler because it kills way more animals.

        They fucking absolutely do. And even if they didn’t, I’m sorry to tell you, killing animals that don’t want to die is cruel and violent. Doing so for sensory pleasure or wealth is deeply wrong. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

        Your second point is speculative. It’s something you clearly don’t know, but you’re choosing to believe because it gives cover and distraction to cruelty and violence.

          pigs, for example, have the intelligence of a 3-4 year old human (not that that means that lower intelligence means we can kill them) . They can and do solve puzzles etc. They’re really intelligent.
