Description/History:
This petition appeals to Adidas to stop using kangaroo leather in their products. Each year, millions of kangaroos are killed in what is widely regarded as the largest wildlife massacre on the planet. Kangaroo joeys are bludgeoned to death or discarded and left to die from cold, starvation and predation.

Shockingly, the number one supporters of this barbaric trade are sports shoe manufacturers, who purchase the skins and turn them into football boots. Adidas, one of the kangaroo industry’s biggest customers, is a major driving force behind the industry.

nigga please.

"After years of misinformation distributed by the Australian government, the kangaroo industry and farmers, who the world over seem to have a thorough contempt for native wildlife, the Australian public has been brainwashed into thinking kangaroos are ‘vermin’ and ‘need’ to be culled. This is simply not true. Kangaroos are not in plague proportions and have actually been wiped out in many regions. At the moment there may be in excess of [b:oksjlc03]50 million [/b:oksjlc03]kangaroos but these animals are an essential and integral part of Australia’s ecology who have evolved to live in harmony with the country’s harsh environment."

THERE ARE MORE KANGAROOS THAN OUR WHOLE FUCKING POPULATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE 20 MILLION PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! WE ALL HAVE TWO PET KANGAROOOS!!! YAY

i'm not [u:oksjlc03]for[/u:oksjlc03]killing kangaroos, i don't want to eat it but dude, why don't we stop using cows for leather and meat? why don't we stop killing every animal??? no, because kangaroos are different obviously.
i hate animal cruelty, but the only people not killing them right are civilians, the ones who cull are professional shooters, if they miss they shoot again. no bludgeoning of joeys and shit - that's just sick people doing it.
i respect the animal cruelty side to it but definitely not the whole 'they are special and endangered' side of it.

"there are similar numbers of kangaroos in Australia as there are cattle (28.7 million)"

Fig 1: Kangaroos are one of the most numerous large wild land mammals on earth.
(data source Australian government records)
In fact the graph at fig 1 indicates that outside of seasonal fluctuations (the troughs during the mid ‘80’s, 90’s and 2000’s are the result of droughts, the peak the result of good seasons), the kangaroo population has been steadily increasing over the past 25 years. This in spite of the commercial harvest throughout that period and the recent ‘worst drought in history’!
In many respects we know the actual environmental impact of utilising kangaroos. Intensive use and scientific effort have answered the questions of potential impact and enabled industry to defend itself based on demonstrated science.

thanks for the information. considering i got the 50 million number from that save the roo's site maybe they should update?

Those fuckers are cute. They need to fuck more.

I was on a cruise eating some nasty meat...couldn't figure out what it was. So when my waiter came back around I asked what it was "roo." I spit it out and kept thinking of that terrible movie Kangaroo Jack.

Agreed!

Male pandas have been given viagra and shown "panda porn", how innovative.

If it means more pandas, tracy!

pandas are badasses.

I think those hormones and porns are working.

A panda at a zoo in southern China has attacked a student who snuck into its pen hoping for a cuddle with the endangered bear, state media have said.

The 20-year-old male student surnamed Liu jumped over the fence at the zoo in the tourist city of Guilin, ignoring warning signs not to, Xinhua news agency said.


i found it funny.

I've just read it in the news.

"I just wanted to hug it.. I didn't think it was going to attack me!"
