Petition: Help Save Donkeys from Suffering and Death in the Ejiao Trade

Donkeys

Every year, approximately five million donkeys suffer and die to fuel the ejiao trade — a gelatin made from donkey hides used in cosmetics and other products. To make ejiao, donkeys are often stolen from their owners and transported thousands of miles to slaughter. During this journey, there is no access to food or water. Some donkeys suffer the entire journey with severed hooves or legs. Then, they are killed for their skin, their lives and bodies discarded like trash.

Last year, US lawmakers reintroduced the Ejiao Act in the House of Representatives, which would eradicate ejiao and its cruel production methods from the market. However, it has not yet been passed, allowing the suffering to continue and companies like Amazon to profit from it.

Please sign this petition to demand Congress pass the Ejiao Act and ensure no more donkeys suffer from this brutal trade!
