Mistreating? They sure like to eat. Mistreatment if you were aiming for a long healthy life but this may not be what you are assuming it to be.

the "force" in "force-feeding" is a pretty important distinction

The word 'gavage' does not have the same effect. Funny what can turn on a phrase.

It turns out people understand uncommon foreign loanwords less.

It's certainly mistreatment. They're fed until they can literally hold no more. It's not great.
