BOSTON KANGAROOS ARE NOT SHOES

Event by Laura Ray adidas Outlet (300 Grand Union Boulevard, Suite 544, Somerville, MA) Duration: 1 hr 30 min WHEN: September 7. WHAT: A demo against Adidas to get them to stop selling kangaroo skin for their soccer cleats WHERE: Adidas Outlet, 300 Grand Union Boulevard, Suite 544, Somerville TIME: 2:30 PM until 4:00 PM Every night in Australia, commercial hunters gun down wild kangaroos and slaughter their babies in order to provide "k-leather" to companies that think kangaroo skin is fabric. Nike, Puma and New Balance have made the switch to cruelty-free materials, but Adidas is digging in its kangaroo skin heels. The "Kangaroos Are Not Shoes" campaign targeting Adidas has gone global, with activists in the U.S., Canada, Germany and Australia taking to the streets to call on the company to do the right thing. If activists in enough cities join this campaign, Adidas will assuredly cave into pressure.
