CBSE Urges Schools to
Stop Using Leather
Shoes
DOYLINDE
In India, CBSE board has urged all affiliated schools to discourage the use of leather shoes.
The alternative, which the central board suggests, is canvas shoes.
"There is no dispute that leather comes at a huge environmental and animal welfare cost. The production of leather from animals involves highly toxic chemicals and usage of these can be reduced sizably if leather shoes are not made mandatory in schools," CBSE public relation officer, Rama Sharma, told Times of India.
If, animal ingredients are used in almost all items we eat or use in our day to day life.... can we call ourselves...' Vegetarian'?
We may not be able to build an animal shelter house on our own, but there is a mini-slaughter house in each home and this can be stopped.
