Treatment :
Indian leather export, 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 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 Indian 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 Mumbai-based Teja Industries, the official supplier of leather goods for Marks
and Spencer in India, started outsourcing leather from other countries to
manufacture products for the global chain. In the light of the above, discuss the
implications of social activist groups for business. With reference to this case,
discuss the failure of the governments, Council for Leather Exports and the
leather industry and the lessons of this case. What should the governments Council
for Leather Exports and the leather industry do to overcome the problem ?
