Ban Leather In India
The Issue
For a country in which people worship animals, we have such a large leather industry in which we torture, and murder animals. The animals are beaten to death and are tortured and put in so much pain.
Most of the world’s leather comes from India, where animal-protection laws are blatantly ignored. Cows like these are forced to march for days to their own slaughter, and they do so without food, water, or medical attention. It goes so far that the workers break cow’s tails and rub chili pepper and tobacco in their eyes t make them walk just so that they can be murdered. Part of the death march often involves forcing cows onto severely crowded trucks before driving long distances without giving them food or water. Some die on the journey, collapsing on top of live cows and trapping them. The conditions are so cramped that the animals often can’t avoid stabbing one another with their long horns. At the end of their journey, cows are slaughtered and skinned. They’re supposed to be killed in the traditional halal fashion, with a quick cut across the neck. However, dull blades often lead to hacking and prolonged suffering. Many cows are still ALIVE as they’re being skinned. And they’re killed in full view of one another.
These videos just give us a glimpse of how these poor animals are treated.
Warning: these videos are disturbing and graphic.

Leather not only is responsible for the slaughter of animals but is also causing so much damage to the environment and people’s heath.
