Controversy
Since 2012 the animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS (Germany) has been criticizing Patagonia for using live-plucked down feathers and downs of force-fed geese. In a statement on their website, Patagonia denied use of live-plucking but admitted to using down procured from the foie-gras industry. They are currently working to resolve this issue.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
