Descrizione - Millions of kangaroos are shot for their skins every year in Australia, and orphaned babies and wounded adults are decapitated or hit sharply on the head to destroy their brains. When hunters kill a mother kangaroo with a baby in her pouch, the baby is often yanked from the mother's lifeless body and stomped to death or left to writhe in agony. Allowing kangaroo skins to be sold in California would threaten the species' existence; kangaroo populations have been dwindling and are now the lowest they have been in more than a decade. An increased demand for kangaroo skin will further jeopardize Australia's dwindling kangaroo populations.
