A ruling from the Supreme Court of California has banned the use of kangaroo skin for football boots and other types of athletic footwear in the state. The case was brought against adidas, Sport Chalet and Offside Soccer by UK-based animal-rights group Viva! (Vegetarians International Voice for Animals), who feel the kangaroo needs to be protected.
