US retail giant Eddie Bauer boycotts Indian leather

The animals are routinely dragged, beaten, and otherwise cruelly and illegally mishandled. At all municipal abattoirs, animals are slaughtered in full view of each other, which is illegal.
The CLE refuses to initiate any action which would prevent leather businesses from obtaining hides and skins from suppliers which mistreat animals – even from unlicensed, illegal abattoirs.
“The boycott of Indian leather grows stronger each day that animals are cruelly treated and illegally slaughtered”, says PETA India Coordinator N.G. Jayasimha.
“By turning a blind eye to the suffering, all that the government and the CLE are accomplishing is cutting the throat of the leather industry which they seek to protect from scrutiny.”
PETA India's campaign has gained the support of celebrities all over the world, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Sir Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson and Jackie Chan.
