How can someone say that gavage doesn't cause the animal pain? Have they asked this animal? Can the goose or duck say, "Hey, that hurts?" Well of course not so how can anyone say that it doesn't cause pain? I can't speak for the animal but having a tube shoved down my throat force feeding me and sometimes ripping my esphogus and tongue would hurt.
