Are down pillows made from dead birds/ducks or do they kill them specifically to grab the feathers? Anyone know? ???

Down can be collected in a variety of ways. Birds which provide the feathers may be used for other purposes, for example to provide meat. Some birds are killed solely for their down, while some birds (particularly some geese) are periodically live-plucked of their breast feathers. Some birds, such as the eider duck, line their nests with down, and such down is harvested safely after the young leave the nest.
Oh and SCREW PETA

Hmm, most of that sounds like PR. I bet most of them are killed specifically for their feathers. Duck is not a popular meat compared to say, chicken, so it is not as if lots of them a killed and tons of feathers are left over which they might as well use for pillows and feather beds. :(

They probably get it cehap from asian countries since duck meat is prevalent there
