Today @TIME named @BetterMeatCo’s Rhiza mycoprotein among the best inventions of the year.
Congratulations to our team of smart, hard-working scientists, engineers, and operators for this well-deserved recognition of their work.
It’s time for the Rhiza River to flow!
@cogcelia Excellent, informative piece of journalism! I’d love to introduce you to our team at the Center for a @HumaneEconomy who crafted and drafted the FDA Modernization Act. Applause for making sense of what’s happening for the health of all, how it can happen, and why it must!
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?
Almost a year has elapsed since @adidas CEO, Bjorn Gulden, publicly acknowledged at his company's Annual General Meeting that the kangaroo hunt in Australia is "terrible" and indicated that #adidasFootball would soon stop making soccer cleats with kangaroo skin.
@adidasfootball - if you know that kangaroos and their joeys are victims of extreme violence, then why are you still using k-leather? Like Nike, Puma and New Balance, which have stopped killing kangaroos, you already have access to high-performance, #crueltyfree materials that can replace it.
Adidas's next Annual General Meeting takes place in Furth, Germany on May 15th. Will Mr. Gulden announce then that #KangaroosAreNotShoes?
By profiting off of the slaughter of innocent animals, including lactating mothers and their babies, Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee is sending the wrong message to her supporters and is betraying the values of her namesake foundation, @JJKWILPrograms@StLouisAmerican - How can you give a Lifetime Achievement Award to someone who is responsible for so much needless pain and suffering?

Adidas claims to source skins from animals who are “free from fear, pain and injury,” yet every kangaroo who their hunters chase down and shoot is a victim of these and other acts of cruelty - as are their orphaned joeys.
When will @adidas align its behavior with its own corporate policies? Does @adidasfootball have a moral compass?
When will #adidas Board Chairman @ThomasRabe (who is also #bertelsmann CEO) join Nike, Puma and New Balance in making the switch from kangaroo skin to #crueltyfree materials?

7 accidents, 3 horse deaths, and 4 hospitalized drivers in just 15 days. The harness racing industry’s refusal to follow HISA's rules puts lives at risk. It’s time for change. #Horses#HarnessRacing https://t.co/lmzrILMc2v
In Soho (NYC shopping district), hundreds of pedestrians stopped in their tracks to watch a mobile billboard showing video footage of commercial hunters in Australia killing wild kangaroos for Adidas, which makes soccer cleats out of their skin. They appeared to be shocked and appalled.
Now that @adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden has publicly acknowledged that the kangaroo hunt is "terrible," #AnimalRights groups hope that #Adidas will join Nike, Puma and New Balance in making the switch from "k-leather" to #crueltyfree materials.

@ThomasRabe Thank you for this good work. I am reaching out today to advise you that @adidas is sourcing kangaroo leather in direct conflict with its policy standards on Animal Derived Materials. Please address this. #kangaroosarenotshoes
🐴 Heartbreaking loss at McCullough Peaks: Kat Ballou, a 13-month-old wild filly, tragically lost her life during a BLM roundup. Again and again, BLM fails these majestic creatures. 🐎 #stoptheroundups, #keepwildhorseswild https://t.co/4y8W3ayeKN
