Today i had an eye opener from a good friend. We were on the conversation of vegan boots and i suggested leather boots that are made for welding. I am very much against animal abuse and animal testing and even wearing fur. I had to admit to myself i wear leather . It animal skin period . I had leather shoes, leather skirts, leather belts. I never took that into account but an animal was slaughtered for me to wear that stuff. Just when i thought i was so passionate about something, i realize i'm just as guilty. I never thought about leather. I know sum people are going DUH !!! lol !! and believe me i feel DUH !!! I have went thru and thrown out my leather. I want to be the best advocate i can be for the lil critters of this world but it helps to take inventory sometimes. I encourage you to look in your closet and shoe collection. I know its hard and may be an expensive thing to do but i challenge you to throw out anything made from animal hide. I was really taken aback when this was brought to my attention.
Just a thought !!!
Thanxs my dear friend for giving me this wake up call
Your post is sad and encouraging at the same time. Sad because human does not care about other animals, encouraging because you have taken the step to raise this issue. I highly appreciate your step.
Too sad! Kindly share the alternative...
