Pamela Anderson Urges India Prime Minister To Reject Leather

Pamela Anderson is not taking a break from activism while having fun in the reality TV show “Bigg Boss 4,” that’s being filmed in India. The actress has written to the Prime Minster, Manmohan Singh, asking that he ban leather products.
“I am calling on person in India and throughout the world to join me in rejecting all leather products in order to help put an end to animal suffering,” Anderson wrote. “I am asking every individual never to buy leather shoes, bags, jackets, belts or anything else made of animal skin.”
“Illegal slaughterhouses operate with impunity throughout the country and municipal slaughterhouses have failed to follow the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. The government has also failed to set up any effective scheme whatsoever to address this crisis.”
“India’s laws prohibit animals from being crammed onto vehicles in such high numbers that their bones break, ban handlers from smearing chilli seeds into cows’ eyes, yet all this continues to go on, involving countless animals every day.”
As we mentioned before, the production of leather has increased over the years, even more greatly than meat. It’s not enough to avoid putting animals in your body. Avoid contributing to the slaughter industry period, keeping your clothing vegetarian, or better yet, vegan.
