#GreyhoundRacing Here is a finger placed above a ghound hock. That’s how fragile their bones are. And that’s why it’s criminal to race them in packs of 8 at 70Kph. They break mid race.

04 June 2025, the ACT Barr government announced they will close 16 Canberra Nature Parks to kill 2981 eastern grey kangaroos (plus countless pouch joeys) over a 7 week period.

"Baffling as it may seem the ACT @Greens have been a central force in the eradication of kangaroos in ACT/Canberra Park system. This year's kill is more than double the 2024 target & nearly triple the 2023 target." - Peter Hylands Creative Cowboy Films creativecowboyfilms.tv/earth…

"When it comes to killing kangaroos, it's approaching killing time in Canberra & the ACT. The question is, how many kangaroos will @actgovernment target in 2025?" - Andrea Hylands Creative Cowboy Films #STOPKILLINGKANGAROOS @MurrayWatt creativecowboyfilms.tv/earth…

Following a series of communications, sportswear company @ASICSamerica has informed @AWAction_News that it will stop using kangaroo skin by the end of 2025: "We place great importance on ethical sourcing" and "have successfully developed high-performance alternatives to kangaroo leather." This announcement comes just six days after @adidas joined Nike, Puma and New Balance in making the same #KangaroosAreNotShoes pledge. @MizunoSportsUSA - when will you too announce a kangaroo-free policy?

VICTORY: Activism works! Thank you to all of the #animalrights activists in Australia, Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States who took to the streets in support of the #KangaroosAreNotShoes campaign. Thanks to @TheHumaneCenter and @AWAction_News for leading the multi-faceted, strategic global campaign. And thanks to @adidas for doing the right thing. cc: @nyclass @animaljusticeAU @VicKangaroos
