[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a vegetarian, but I have a few vegetarian friends who do wear leather and use leather products.  Their logic is that the nation is primarily omnivorous and until that changes, there are going to be animals slaughtered.  Having them slaughtered for meat and then discarding the other parts, is a horrible waste and really devalues the animal.  Even if you aren't consuming the flesh of the animal, you can keep people from discarding the carcass.  Think of it as a conservation type gesture.  Your abstention from using leather products will not stop or decrease the number of animals slaughtered.   Likewise your use of the skin, will not increase the number of animals slaughtered as there are far more animals slaughtered for food than for byproducts like leather.[/quote]

This logic makes no sense.  If you use leather you should use all parts of the animal.

My abstaining is because I don’t want to eat or wear animals killed when there are alternatives.  [/quote]
