If you listened to Nike, and read their corporate propaganda you might think they are an ethical company focused on producing sustainable, cruelty-free products. We wish this were true. The fact is Nike, as one of the biggest buyers of kangaroo skin in the world is helping to drive a bloody killing spree across outback Australia.

Two million kangaroos are killed every year predominantly to be turned into pet food and shoes. It’s a disgrace. Kangaroos are one the world’s most beloved, iconic and unique animals — it’s almost beyond comprehension that Nike sees fit to profit from their cruel slaughter.
