Annisa, Every year, an estimated five million donkeys suffer and die to fuel the ejiao trade — a gelatin made from donkey hides used in cosmetics and other products. To make ejiao, donkeys are often stolen from their owners and transported thousands of miles to slaughter. During this journey, there is no access to food or water. Some donkeys suffer the entire journey with severed hooves or legs. Then, they are killed for their skin, their lives and bodies discarded like trash. Last year, US lawmakers reintroduced the Ejiao Act in the House of Representatives. However, nothing has been done and companies like Amazon are flaunting their profits from selling it. Sign the petition to urge Congress to pass the Ejiao Act to stop this horrific cruelty! The cruelty is nearly too much to bear. If a donkey is sick or even maimed, its hide is still suitable to sell in the skin trade. That means that handlers do not have to treat donkeys humanely. The only thing they care about is profits. They drag them by their ears and tails. No donkey is safe, from heavily pregnant mares to the sick and injured. Even young foals are not spared. Amazon, unlike eBay which banned ejiao in 2017, continues to profit from this brutality, despite growing global condemnation. Action is needed now more than ever. Sign the petition to demand Congress pass the Ejiao Act and ensure no more donkeys suffer from this brutal trade! |
