Kangaroo Victory in California!
Dear friends
We are thrilled to be able to share with you the wonderful news that yesterday, the bill that sought to delist kangaroos from those afforded legal protection by the state of California, by way of a ban on the importation and sale of products made from their body parts, was DEFEATED! It remains illegal to import into CA or sell within it kangaroo products. This is a fantastic victory for the animals.
To all our supporters in California: thank you so much for your support and for putting pressure on your Senator to oppose this bill.
This outcome is particularly important as Viva! forges ahead with its lawsuit against Adidas, which continues to sell illegal kangaroo-skin football boots across California.
Viva! would like to thank lauren Ornelas and the Animal Protection Institute (API) for the work on this issue.
The situation for kangaroos is still critical. Severe drought has caused their numbers to plummet. Some species are being shot faster than they can reproduce, and even the hunters themselves are bemoaning a lack of large animals to kill. For further information on how you can get active for the 'roos, please go to www.savethekangaroo.com/tourism.
Yours, for the animals,
