“Mick McIntyre, the co-founder of animal welfare group Kangaroos Alive, told The Australian … it’s a ‘big victory’ for the ‘inhumane’ industry, and he said they hoped other big sporting brands such as Adidas and Nike would follow,” Ms Credlin said. “Instead of kangaroo leather, Puma is using a new nylon material, they claim it’s superior – even though nylon is made from coal and petroleum.
“There’s something a little odd, isn’t there, about activists who demand an end to killing animals, only to substitute products based on fossil fuels, that they scream at us are killing the planet.”
