Kangaroos are a beloved
marsupial known for their amazing leaps, playful social
energy, and sweet little joeys popping their heads out
of their mamas' pouches. But some people also
want to hunt them down for their skin, using
the hide that covers their flesh for shoes, bags, and
more. California took a great step forward by banning
the sale of kangaroo leather in the 70s, but
unfortunately, some retailers are openly
breaking this law. And so far, they're getting away with
it.
Sign the petition to
demand that California authorities finally crack down on
cruel retailers selling kangaroo
leather!
In many places, kangaroo leather
is considered a "luxury" item -- enabling more
unnecessary cruelty. Soccer Warehouse, an American
sports equipment and clothing store chain based in
California, is one of the main culprits. Investigations
by conservation groups have found kangaroo leather shoes
at multiple Soccer Warehouse stores in
California. Clearly, this corporation doesn't care about
the law or animal rights. Tell California's
regulatory agencies, including the California Department
of Fish and Wildlife and state prosecutors, that they
must safeguard kangaroos' rights and enforce the ban on
kangaroo products! Soccer Warehouse and other retailers
must face serious consequences for their refusal to
follow the
law.
