Nothing is safe anymore. Or was it ever.

😭😭😭

Gross

Most soccer cleats/shoes/boots are made with kangaroo leather.

OUR HUMAN RACE! THESE DEVILS KILL OUR ANIMALS !! FOR PAPER !! MONEY 🤔🤨 THIS IS HORRIBLE !! EVEN IN CHINA THEY KILL & TRANSPORT ANIMALS WE CANT IMAGINE EATING .... THIS IS CRAZY LIKE WE WORRIED ABOUT THE THE WRONG THINGS ND THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 ON THE LIST !

Animal lives are nothing in AwfulStralia, which doesn’t deserve such a huge area of the planet.

And there is extreme cruelty in the kangaroo industry. Babies found in pouches are either beheaded or have their brains bashed out with an iron bar by shooters. Many suffer mouth injuries and flee to die a slow and painful death. Please boycott kangaroo products.

I fucking hate humans at times. It's our own greed that's killing us

No disrespect but I'm respectfully asking any wise person what valid contribution do kangaroos give to society? My opinion is do away with Serpents, Sharks, Alligators, Shoebills and yours truly.

Really?
