PETA India has written in this regard to Odisha's School and Mass Education Minister Rabi Narayan Nanda and officials of all other states urging them to follow the path shown by Himachal Pradesh and Punjab.
"This measure would protect animals and the environment and also empower children with the opportunity to be animal- and eco-friendly consumers," says PETA India Corporate and Government Affairs Liaison Sarfaraz Syed.
"Most children naturally care for animals and the environment and prefer wearing more comfortable canvas shoes over leather or other materials, so transitioning to canvas-only shoes for all school uniforms would be a win-win-win situation for all - children, animals and the environment," said a PETA India statement.
Cows and other animals are often found so crowded in trucks that they sustain injuries by the horns of others, and, at slaughterhouses, many are skinned and dismembered while they are still conscious, the statement said.
Turning the skins into leather requires massive amounts of toxic chemicals, leading workers and local people to suffer nervous disorders, skin and respiratory infections and even cancer, it said.
Canvas, on the other hand, requires relatively little maintenance compared to other popular shoe materials, including leather, the PETA said.
