If the first crispy fried goose is on the table, nothing more reminiscent of the terrible torments that the animal had to endure during his lifetime. Every year from November to advertise restaurants and supermarkets and restaurants with delicious roast goose, which is considered a traditional feast. Hardly anyone knows, however, as the birds got their names "Martin Goose" because once the animals played an important role in the life of St. Martin. In the vernacular, it is still called "The geese have betrayed St. Martin, So do you cook them now."
The agony, the geese now have to suffer but in the intensive livestock breeds are not to justify it. The entertainment and living conditions for the St. Martin and fattened goose for Christmas gruesome and brutal as a result of exaggerated profit, because economic interests are in the keeping of poultry of all kinds in the foreground.
sad results of this practice, in addition to diseases such as avian influenza and factory farming and Turbo mast. When geese finishing in Germany, Austria and some other EU countries, the animals must endure unimaginable suffering, for there they are down in a short time a lot of weight, herded them in large numbers together in a confined space where the animals are not even begin to species-specific behavior can. Hard concrete floor and Artificial light are just two examples. The weakness, the artificial light and other stress factors have a very negative impact on the health of fattening geese.
by extreme breeding selection goose breeds were bred to be reached within a very short time their "dead weight". This is unthinkable for the animals with painful side effects such as arthritis, respiratory distress or bone fractures. With such methods, the duration of the mast, which is at least 20 weeks outdoor ducks, geese reduced in the case of the stable to about half.
provides the majority of Martin's Christmas goose and also as a by-product in the gourmet popular foie gras. The production of this dubious delicacy for the goose is a cruel martyrdom dar.
several times a day you lead a animals to about 50 cm long metal tube through the neck, which extends into the stomach. This administered to them during the forced feedings daily up to 2.5 kg swollen, heavily salted porridge. On the human equivalent of this means for example that we should daily eat about one-fifth of our body weight.
When plug the gullet of the goose is injured severely. The necks of some geese are so much hurt that formed holes through which the water, drink the animals, runs out after swallowing. It can also occur, and because of the stomachs of the animals if the amount of Futterbreis is too much detergent. Then the birds die in endless pain. Will not help them, because that would cost money.
The livers of the animals increase dramatically by the unhealthy food in a very short time, also increase the other institutions, in an unnatural way. The livers of foie gras geese weigh pber one kilograms approximately 10 times as much as the liver of a healthy, naturally fed goose, which also leads to severe pain.
But the agony of the geese go even further: Without anesthesia tears to the Animals, the soft springs alive from, in order to win down as filling material such as for pillows and jackets. Because the plucking takes place in the chord, people go according careless with the animals around - often the birds with the feathers and whole pieces of skin are torn.
So at the request: Ask yourself whether a goose for Christmas this year absolute must. If so, please give your love out on the feast of a few € more for the goose now, a free-goose. These birds remains a large part of the above-described torture saves. Or you decide to go even for a vegetarian feast. With a good conscience that tastes then surely at least as good!
