Viva! has just launched [link= http://www.viva.org.uk/campaigns/ducks/jake.html ]Jake’s Story[/link], a heart-breaking short online film, telling the story of one little duckling’s short life on a factory farm.
Jake is from the same family of ducks you would see down on your local pond, but the only water this little bird will ever see is in his drinker. His feathers are dirty and his eyes are encrusted with dirt because he can’t clean himself properly. He will never know the freedom of an open river, nor feel the sun on his back. Jake will never know the love of his mother, and will die a frightening and barbaric death at just seven weeks old. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

RE: Save Jake the Easter Duckling!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
It may actually be better if we put this under the pets, animals and wildlife section.
I don't eat duck and never will now after seeing how they are treated.
Love
