[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  I have lots of things that are made from leather (boots, shoes, bags, etc).  I’m a vegetarian because I think it’s a healthier way to live and not necessarily because of animal rights.  I mean I don’t want to see animals suffer unnecessarily but it wasn’t my motivation.  Plus I never really liked meat.  Bacon is the only thing I miss. [/quote]

This.  It depends why you’re a vegetarian.  If it is for animal rights then of course you shouldn’t buy leather or any animal product.  If it’s for any other reason (like health or preference) then it doesn’t matter.

Here’s the rub tho: if you’re a vegetarian for ecology and saving the planet, used leather goods create less waste than new cloth or manmade fabrics do so your better off with vintage leather. [/quote]

Yeah, people jump to the conclusion that vegetarians are vegetarians because they care about animals. My closest friend is a vegetarian because she hates animals and wants nothing to do with them, including eating them. The other vegetarians I know don't wear or use leather. [/quote]
