Detroit —Vegetarian South Asians will be pleased to learn that top luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz informed People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) that all future Mercedes-Benz models will be available with a leather-free option either at the dealership or via special order in all markets. It takes four cows to make the leather interior for one Mercedes, and the company’s announcement follows PETA’s consumer-driven campaign to pressure Mercedes to offer alternatives to a leather interior.
