To ask you all to never buy a Canada Goose product ever again **Graphic video - warning added by MNHQ**

Video of the terrible cruelty inflicted upon the geese:

and an expose on the awful working conditions in the factory:

YABU to post this here. Could you not just go and join the rest of the annoying protesters who like to block the pavement on Regent Street?

Try the petitions and activism board.

I would never have bought one anyway. This has been widely publicised.

@lockheart too real for you, is it? Unpleasant to look at? Do you condone this sort of thing?

I’m not a protester, just someone who read the article about the staff being treated terribly and the animals too. Clearly you think it’s all cool and not worth spreading the word about.

No @AlPacino, I think it's in the wrong section. I don't own anything by CG nor do I have any intention of buying anything from there.

Thanks for posting this OP. It is good to raise awareness.

Right but I was trying to inform people of what this horrible company do.
Sticking this in the petitions board isn’t going to get much reach is it?
Clearly people aren’t interested in hearing this kind of news so I won’t bother next time.

I didn’t know so thank you

Your links don’t work anyway, I am on a mobile device so cannot easily cut and paste.

Well I didn't know, my knowledge of Canada Goose extended to it being a premium brand in one of my DS' favourite shops. So thank you and in turn I can tell him and feel justified in saying 'no' if he hints for one again! (££££)

The links work for me

I didn’t know that. Thanks for posting op. I am not a fan of the coats. They are the new Burberry check.

I didn’t know! I would never have bought one anyway for many reasons but I didn’t know this. So thanks OP

I also agree that this is in the wrong place.

I think the more people who know about this the better!
Their extortionate price was enough to put me off in the first place anyway but I saw the video a good while back

YANBU

Perhaps chat would have been better than AIBU (people do periodically get very sick of everything being shoehorned into one topic)

But thank you for posting.

I had no idea about this

That’s horrendous, thanks for raising awareness OP.

Also I’ve reported your thread for the aggression you showed the first responder. At NO point did she say she thought it was cool.

Bore off!

The video asks people to “please don’t buy Canada goose or any other down products” which suggests that all geese farms supplying the industry treat the birds badly. It’s important to raise awareness but calling out one company when the messaging is about the industry as a whole seems a bit misleading. Previous comments confirm this by saying they will not buy from one particular Company rather than down products. Just boycotting one company isn’t going to have the impact of boycotting the industry

Can you post a link to the article also?

I'm surprised so many people didn't already know how disgusting they are.

YANBU.

I thought everyone knew how awful Canada Goose was - it became a brand of shame quite a few years ago if I recall correctly.

I remember seeing a woman at a cashpoint wearing one and feeling quite sad.

Also I’ve reported your thread for the aggression you showed the first responder.

YABU to post this here.

Yeah OP, you must be kind. MN isn't known as the nest of kittens for nothing.

I think we should ask MNHQ to give the thread police a special colour or something. Otherwise how will posters know they have to obey when told what they are allowed to discuss?

Did you want people to say “oh thanks, OP, I didn’t know that - I was going to buy one but I won’t now”? You’re a little bit too late for that. Anyone who would be bothered by this re CG knew about it years ago.
