John,
5 million donkeys are killed every year to produce a special kind of gelatin used in cosmetic products and supplements that claim to enhance health and preserve youth.
Some donkeys are skinned alive. Those that die being transported are often skinned on the spot, their remains discarded by the side of the road. If they survive the journey, the donkeys are bludgeoned to death on arrival.
We can help stop this cruelty.
eBay has already banned the sale of "ejiao" gelatin. It's time for retail giant Amazon to follow suit and stop participating in the exploitation of these intelligent creatures. Add your name in just one click:
Sign the petition: tell Amazon to save the donkeys.
Donkeys are affectionate animals with incredible memories. They are an integral part of some communities in Africa and Asia that rely on them for transporting goods and people. This helps free many women and girls in rural areas from hard physical labour and domestic chores.
But now donkeys are being stolen to meet the global demand for ejiao.
Let’s show Amazon that people from all around the world are calling on them to protect donkeys from inhumane treatment. Can you sign and share our petition with animal lovers everywhere? Add your name in just one click:
Save donkeys from cruelty.
Last year a legal settlement forced Amazon to stop selling donkey gelatin in California. Now it’s time for the platform to protect donkeys everywhere and roll the ban out worldwide.
