Belgium must prohibit the import of kangaroo meat, just as it prohibited the import of seal products.
Following a week of targeted activity, GAIA successfully convinced Carrefour Belgium, Makro, Cora, Match and eventually Spar (Colruyt Group) to discontinue the sale of kangaroo meat.
It took GAIA just one week to convince Belgian supermarkets to end the sale of kangaroo meat. Belgium’s main animal rights’ association conducted a “name and shame” campaign: over several days, GAIA members and supporters inundated the customer services and social networks of Belgian supermarket chains, asking them to immediately stop selling kangaroo meat.
