    POOR assumption!
    LIVE geese are used to obtain feathers. The plucking of feathers causes extreme pain in the geese, and millions of feathers are plucked every week... On top of this, most the work is done in places like West Bengal, where their abuse of children used to make the shuttlecocks is well known.

    Please read this, and many other informative articles. It is time to go synthetic, Goose and Duck feather use is obscene and immoral
