Every year, two million kangaroos are killed for their leather – more than any other type of mammal in the entire world. All this brutality and slaughter is just so people can sell these dead animals’ skin – in particular, for fashion and sports, and especially for high-end soccer cleats.

While kangaroos aren’t considered an endangered species yet, the large number of kangaroos killed is worrying to many conservationists. Experts are worried that these hunts could push the species closer to extinction.

In many cases, these animals are killed in shocking ways that echo the cruelty seen in notorious hunts of other species worldwide, but on a much larger scale. Reports detail how the kangaroos are subjected to prolonged pain and distress, similar to how seals are massacred.

Please sign this petition to Support the Kangaroo Protection Act and demand that U.S. lawmakers take action to protect these remarkable animals!
