About 800,000 geese and ducks are force-fed in Israel each year
The following pictures were taken in Israeli farms on spring 2001
A tube penetrated into the gullet
Five feeding spoons per day
The ducks are caged in tiny cages
Impossible to spread wings, move or stand
Movement would have burned fat
There is nowhere to escape
The liver enlarges up to 10 times its normal size
The results: pain and infections in the gullet
The broken beak swells up
The geese can hardly walk
Like 25kg of bread for person per a day
A dying geese, skewered on a broken grid
The digestive system bursts
When the worker misses- the insides crashes
The enlarged liver puts pressure on the lungs
Eighth of the geese die during the force-feeding
The tube tears the neck
Hemorrhage of the anus
Improvised slaughter method for dying geese
Near death, the geese transported to slaughter
