JohnHere at Animal Wellness Action, we take on ambitious and groundbreaking fights on behalf of animals —
and, in the end, we prevail.
Within recent weeks, we helped pass a national animal-testing policy that over time will spare beagles and countless tens of thousands of other animals suffering in laboratories, drive enactment of a new federal law to shut down commercial cub petting at roadside menageries, and teamed up with federal law enforcement to put notorious cockfighters in prison and to assure their fighting pits torn down.
We have a team that knows how to bring pressure and to drive changes that animals desperately need. When you support the Animal Wellness Action, you are equipping us not only to fight, but to win.
Right now, we’re spearheading a campaign to convince Nike, Adidas, and other athletic shoe retailers to stop sourcing skins from kangaroos shot in their native habitats in Australia.
The body count is staggering. Every year, 2 million kangaroos are slaughtered, and their skins are made into soccer cleats for big-brand shoe companies. That’s the case even though they already make most of their shoes from fabrics not made from kangaroos or any other animals.
That is a disgrace. And it’s so unnecessary.
Will you join our Kangaroos Are Not Shoes campaign? Please consider supporting this effort to stop the world’s biggest commercial slaughter of native wildlife.
We can do better than this as a society. And Nike and Adidas can do better as corporations that talk a good game of social responsibility.
Thank you for your support!
