FACTORY FARMED DUCK MEAT

Ducks raised for human consumption suffer just as much as any factory farmed animals. Their bills may be sheared off then crammed into filthy warehouses by the thousands. The only water they see comes from a pipe where water drips out. They are not allowed to swim or immerse their heads underwater like they instinctively need to do.

Consequently, they may have trouble keeping warm and develop eye infections which can cause blindness. Due to overcrowding and unsanitary conditions, before these ducks reach your dinner table, they may suffer other infections and may be in poor health before being slaughtered.
