do you have any examples? i only ask because im of the belief that all parts of an animal should be used, and i know im lucky to live in a place thats moving away from industrial farming so that IS a possibility, so if the animal is dead or going to die anyway, shouldnt real leather take priority over synthetics?
ive also only ever seen faux leather that isnt plastic made of 'corn leather' which degrades really fast and has a really harmful process though, so if theres more im curious to know?
Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;
I am PRO-WOOL
I am PRO-LEATHER
I am PRO-BEES
Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.
Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.
#especially because as much as im pro ethically sourced animal products....its weird#fur and leather feels weird#thats flesh....#but im also very skeptical of all synthetics after seeing 'cruelty free wool' which was marketed as...faux wool#not even as acrylic or polyester...i dont know what it was but it wasnt an organic material like cotton or linen either#sheep and alpaca NEED to be sheered#i dont know why some people think that harms the animal#but then there are also a lot of vegan options thst ARE harmful to the environment too like stevia and agave farming that never seems to be#acknowledged as such#so i do tend to be a little skeptical of some claims like the leather thing but if there really is safer options then some people need them#like people who have allergies to honey or sugar need agave or stevia#but it should only be treated as an option not that everyone im the world should convert#because then even removing the harmful farming practices theres also people like me who cant tolerate stevia in my body too#its all complicated and nothing is really 100% GOOD or SAFE but if there are more options id like to know and expand my knowledge on these#like yes bamboo is an option for things like fabric or tools but its another harmful practice and frankly the fabric isnt as nice as cotton#and cost twice as much....#is it better than synthetic options? maybe..kinda? but is it worth it? not really#anyway#ive rambled ans its probably not coherent but know that i mean this all in good faith#im just heavily skeptical of some vegan arguments when ive seen a lot of them ignore the fact the practices and processes arent actually#any better or safer than non vegan practices. we just need ETHICAL practices rather than vegan or not vegan and evedy can choose what theyre#comfortable with from there cause some people will never be able to agree with leather and some people have allergies
