you the quality poster

why don't you get a new handbag while you're at it, lol

>>172787

Yeah, but, cows are delicious.

>>172790

Humans are delicious too we should eat them

>>172794

Eating the right parts of humans can be fun. Namely low enough.

<3

Chinese leather is literal filth

Enjoy your chromium :')

>>172787

Millions of animals are slaughtered every year and a useful resource, their hides, is just thrown out.

Meanwhile the process involved in creating synthetic fabrics, aritificial fur, chromium leather, destroys entire ecosystems in brutal fashion and is far more harmful to animal life.

>>172814

Hides used for leather and fur aren't from animals that are eaten as well. They are hunted and skinned alive just for their hides

Environment does suffer from the synthetics but it's a drop in the ocean compared to other pollutants, vehicles, energy, etc that could all be cut. It's just an argument made by the fur industry to hit back when people realised how horrible they were

>>172818

Liar or misinformed. The animals are aten.

All the leather stuff sold in my area and furs, it's all from animals that were hunted and the animal was aten, or it's often byproduct of culling of cows, sheep, etc.

>>172819

okay but only some of them

>species are hunted and killed specifically for their skins, including zebras, bison, water buffalo, boars, kangaroos, elephants, eels, sharks, dolphins, seals, walruses, frogs, turtles, crocodiles, lizards, and snakes.

>Other “exotic” animals, such as alligators and crocodiles, are factory-farmed for their skins and meat. The young reptiles are often kept in tanks above ground, while bigger animals live in pools half-sunken into concrete slabs. According to Florida’s regulations, it is legal to put as many as 350 6-foot alligators into a space the size of a typical family home. One Georgia farmer had 10,000 alligators living in four buildings, where, according to the Los Angeles Times, “[h]undreds and hundreds of alligators fill every inch of [each] room.”

If they're killed for food anyway then whatever. But these are tons of species who are just hunted for skin alone, and they're usually endangered species too because of it.

Are we really going down the road of 'baww leather' because of a wallet?

I bet you're a vegan, too.

>>172823

Nope not a vegan, and if there's anything else about your shit thread worth discussing then let it be known

>>172825

Okay, we're getting somewhere. Unless you're a vegetarian, you don't see the hypocrisy of eating meat and using the skins of domestic animals?

>>172826

No I don't tbh. They kill animals in brutal ways for their skin. Skinning them alive, keeping them in horrible conditions. It's a business and they don't care and it's just unnecessary to wear real fur and leather these days whereas it's necessary to eat.

I wouldn't call myself 'vegetarian' because I do eat meat sometimes but when I do it's all free range.

>>172829

What's the difference between wearing an animal for years, or using an animal to keep for belly full for a few hours?

I'm not patronizing you, I sincerely want to know.

>>172832

Putting aside that that makes no difference or sense in relation to anything I've said, difference is if you don't have access to supplements then you need certain things from meat. There are millions of alternatives to wearing fur.

>>172836

Soooooo what I should feel bad cos I don't want animals to be tortured? lol

>>172801

If you ever try to eat my penis I will fucking murder you.

>>172834

But you do have access to alternatives to meat. You can use things like whey based protein, and multivitamins synthesized in a lab.

>>172839

Feisty.

>>172840

>if you don't have access to supplements

>>172841

Yes, what I'm saying is, if you don't like leather, then you shouldn't eat meat, period, because you can supplement meat in your diet.

>>172844

Like I said, I hardly ever eat meat and when I do it's free range.

>>172845

So would you be okay with free range leather?

>>172846

Slightly?? If they weren't just killed for the skin as well.

>>172847

But why? Again, you don't have much qualms about the concept of eating meat, and do it. Don't justify it by saying it's rare, you aren't nearly as repulsed by it as using the hide of an animal, be honest.

Using the hide would be similar; it's a vain, anthropocentric act done in the face of many alternatives.

>>172849

Because free range isn't cruel and killing an animal just for it's skin is a waste of a life… I get the feeling you aren't even reading my posts…

>>172851

put your trip back on turkspergy

>>172850

Killing an animal for its skin (provided said animal's extinction doesn't pose a threat to the ecosystem) is just as wasteful as killing it for meat. Same as ideally doing it for both.

Just go to the doctor and get the chop-job already, Caitlyn.
