Kangaroos are NOT shoes! Episode 25

The Animal Wellness Podcast

Kangaroos are the No. 1 commercially slaughtered mammal in the world. Hunted in the dark of night, their offspring pulled from lifeless mothers only to be beaten to death by clubs, kangaroos are killed in horrific numbers to make leather for soccer shoes.

A new micro-documentary produced by guest Gavin Polone shows how athletic wear is made from among nature's most fascinating and unique creatures. See the documentary at www.animalwellnessaction.org, and go here to sign a petition for Nike, one of the largest retailers of these cruelty-driven products.

Wayne Pacelle and Marty Irby from Animal Wellness Action are joined by host Joseph Grove.
