Why are we protesting? Adidas as one of the world’s biggest purchasers of kangaroo skins is fuelling the profit-driven commercial kangaroo-killing industry.
“Adidas – bashing in the heads of joeys is a terrible price to pay for a pair of shoes.” Emma Hurst, Animal Justice Party MP
“Australia’s kangaroo industry doesn’t just produce kangaroo skin and petfood. It also produces a neverending stream of orphaned joeys. It produces a neverending stream of kangaroos, including mothers, who’ve been shot but managed to escape the shooters, and who we find dying alone days later. If Australians really knew what happens out there in the dark they’d be horrified.”
Greg K. Kangaroo rescuer.
