Kill a Kangaroo, Get a Shoe

Each year, millions of kangaroos are killed in what is widely regarded as the largest wildlife massacre on the planet.

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 industry’s biggest customers, is a major driving force behind the industry.

In 2006, David Beckham, who is paid millions of pounds to promote Adidas products switched to synthetics after years of wearing kangaroo football boots. However, despite Beckham's change of heart Adidas continues to make many other football boots out of kangaroo leather.

The sports world could use a major overhaul (two words: Michael Vick) with its "higher-than-any-law" attitude that even justifies the killing of innocent animals for a shoe, enough said!
