Hah, I thought I got it and I still didn’t quite get it. I was thinking of “get down” as in lowering your body. Like, your body is lowered from the act of ducking. Get down from a duck(ing position).
I thought get down meant “disembark”, like an elephant is too tall for you to climb down, but here’s a friendly, robust duck who likes to ferry humans about. We don’t know what his problem is.
Down is a type of feather that was used in various (fancy) bedding and clothes. Nowadays synthetic options are significantly more common and anything with real down feathers is quite expensive.
They fucking absolutely do. And even if they didn’t, I’m sorry to tell you, killing animals that don’t want to die is cruel and violent. Doing so for sensory pleasure or wealth is deeply wrong. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.
Your second point is speculative. It’s something you clearly don’t know, but you’re choosing to believe because it gives cover and distraction to cruelty and violence.
IMO, real down only remains necessary for stuff like backpacking, because it’s lighter and packs smaller than any synthetic of comparable insulation amount. Unless you need that, synthetic is better.
Ha, I get it!
But let’s say I have a friend who doesn’t…
I think it’s easier to get down from a goose than a duck.

And real down is also extremely cruel. Just sayin’
They don’t pluck live ducks (or geese), you know.
I put it to you that the use of plastic down is much crueler because it kills way more animals.

Oh. That actually explains a lot (uses to hear the term “down feather” as a kid every now and then)
I interpreted it completely differently, when you “duck”, you crouch down
