Many people kill snakes without a second thought, yet venomous snakes are saving the lives of countless people.
At JKR Gear we’ve been thinking about how we can educate a larger section of the public about the value and beauty of snakes. We are proud to have partnered with Kentucky Reptile Zoo, Small Scale Films, and others to put a beautiful part of a LIVE snake in the hands of anyone with a smartphone.
Snakes are among the most feared and stigmatized creatures in the world. Yet their venom is being used for cutting edge research and treatments for diseases such as Hypertension, Breast Cancer, Diabetes and many more. It is likely that you have, or someone you love has benefited from snake venom.
The sheds used by JKR Gear come from live, venomous snakes being used in this research. A portion of the proceeds for each item sold goes to the facilities where these animals are kept. When you buy a DNA product from JKR Gear, you are supporting these life saving efforts.
Stay tuned!!
