Its a matter of opinion: Fur v. Leather


I personally hate fur that is not on animals. Yet sometimes I feel like the biggest hypocrate because I wear my fair share of leather. And what about my down comforter and pillows? While I will not go out and start wearing fur because they are all the same and I am already apart of this gross slaughtering of animals, I dont think I will stop buying leather bags and shoes either. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about this.


- The Vegitarian Society has some interesting facts about clothing from animal products.


- I think this is great: Coatsforcubs.com will accept old fur clothing donations and gives them to the humane society which uses the fur to warm and comfort abandoned and injured wildlife. What a a great idea.


1.what the difference is between wearing fur and wearing leather. Or is there one? 2.What about the versatility of leather (i.e. shoes, other wares)?
3.What about down feathers? Cashmere?
4.Who decides where the line should be drawn and what is acceptable versus what is not?
I would like comments and opinions on your thoughts!
