been reportedly hit hard by the decision of some major US retail chalns like
Eddie Bauet. LL Bean. Timbertand and Casual Corner and a German company

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 lndlan leath er
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 reponed that the overseas firms have
o?lcially communicated to the Indlan outflt of PEFA that they wIII not be sourcing
leather products from India until there is strict enforcement of animaI protection
laws. Following this. the MumbaI-based Teja lndustrles, the official supplier of
leather goods for Matks and Spencer in lndla, started out-sourclng leather from
other countries to manufacture products for the global chain.
