The skins of
Indian crocodiles (marsh, salt-water and gharials), lizards (all types)
and snakes (all types) are regularly used in the manufacture of wallets,
ladies’ bags, hunting boots and other footwear, belts, straps of
wrist-watches, sandals, briefcases, patches on leather garments (like
jackets, skirts and pants) and other ‘fashion items’. Most of the
species being slaughtered mercilessly for nothing other than our
personal needs are on the endangered list in India. It’s high time all
of us take collective responsibility to protect our wildlife. I do not
use any leather products and I urge all of you to do the same. Please
remember, “If the buying stops, the killing can too…”
