12. Case Study (Compulsory). (1x15=15)

Indian leather exports, an important foreign exchange earner for the country has been reportedly hit hard by the decision of some major US retail chains like Eddie Bauer, LL Bean, Timberland and Casual Corner and a German company Bader to boycott leather goods from India in protest against the Ill-treatment of animals here. This move came shortly after a decision by global retail chains Gap, Marks and L. Spencer, Liz Claiborne and J. Crew not to buy Indian leather goods. This development has a lot to do with the lobbying by the US-based animal rights group, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for a ban on leather goods from India by documenting evidence of “cruelty to animals” killed for making leather. It has been reported that the overseas firms have officially communicated to the Indlan outfit of PETA that they will not be sourcing leather products from India until there is strict enforcement of animal protection laws. Following this, the Mumbal-based Teja industries, the official supplier of leather goods for Marks and Spencer in Indla, started out-sourcing leather from other countries to manufacture products for the global chain.
