LVMH, a European multinational luxury goods conglomerate, informed that Louis Vuitton brand has ceased all trading with Vietnamese farms which mistreat crocodiles. “The LVMH Group and its suppliers ceased all trading in 2014 with the farms named by Peta,” the company said in a statement, adding that it sources its crocodile skins from other Asian suppliers.
It may be noted here that animal rights activist group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) recently released a video showing poor conditions of crocodiles at farms whose skins are used to make handbags and other accessories. The Group, which has long campaigned for changes by luxury goods groups, however, did not name the farms concerned.
