Leather Shoes to be Removed From School Uniform- PETA

Thiruvananthapuram

PETA focused on the use of Canvas Shoes in School Uniform. Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has urged Kerala to allow only eco-friendly canvas or other non-leather footwear for school uniforms, taking a cue from Himachal Pradesh and Punjab in this regard. Canvas is recyclable and a renewable resource and shoes made from it are biodegradable, washed easily and are sturdy enough to stand heavy wear and tear.

Letters have been sent to Kerala Education Minister P K Abdu Rabb and officials of all other Indian states urging them follow suit in the matter, a PETA press release said. It claimed such a step would protect animals and the environment and empower children with the opportunity to be animal and eco-friendly consumers.
