The violence must END. Donate Now!

Dear Friend,

By the time a mother kangaroo hears the hunter, it's too late. A bright light cuts through the darkness, blinding and confusing her—and then the shooting begins.

She'll likely be wounded, but she may not be killed instantly. Her agonizing last moments come when the hunter cuts off her head or smashes her skull. Then, her helpless joey will be left behind to starve—that is, if they're not caught by a hunter, who will bash their head in to kill them.

Please make a difference for kangaroos and other victims of the global skins trade by donating just $2 or more to PETA today.

It's no wonder that the international wildlife and animal-skin trades—which perpetuate hideous cruelty, wreak havoc on ecosystems, and represent major breeding grounds for animal-borne pathogens—are under greater scrutiny than ever. In Australia, even after countless native animals have been threatened by devastating bushfires, gentle kangaroos are still being gruesomely killed for clothing and accessories.

PETA is determined to stop the massacre. Our powerful exposés and hard-hitting campaigns are revealing the cruelty and devastation of the global skins industry—and our hard work is paying off as we push some of world's biggest fashion brands to shun kangaroo leather, exotic skins, and other cruelly derived materials.
