Soccer Wearhouse and other sporting retailers targeted in Californian civil suit for allegedly violating 50-year-old kangaroo product ban
Animal welfare advocates in the US have filed a civil lawsuit against a California-based sportswear and equipment retailer which they alleged are selling football shoes made of kangaroo leather, despite a 50-year-old ban on the products in that state.
The Centre for a Humane Economy and the Animal Wellness Action group claim in proceedings filed in a California court that US Soccer Wearhouse and other sporting retailers in the state have been “openly flouting the law” by selling “kangaroo-based cleats” in their shops, including from big name brands. The lawsuit does not allege any wrongdoing by the manufacturers.
