Do you wear leather?!
Do you wear leather?
Answers:
I'm a vegetarian, and sometimes it is just too hard to find shoes without leather that fit. I would never buy a leather jacket - I hate the smell.
no
No, I don't like the look, smell, feeling of it...
I have a leather skirt, but I never wear it. But not because it's leather. I just haven't worn it yet. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan so I don't know why I answered this question.
Yes, and I eat the cow/pig it comes from, so I think that's O.K., there are lots of farms round here, and the lambs are a lovely site, gambolling around the fields, but they wouldn't be there if the farmer didn't know he could sell them at market for lamb chops..
Sad but true...

O.K., so you're a Vegan, watch your health , and make sure you get all the vitamins and oils and proteins you need, see below.
( only the other day a woman was on here asking what to do because her husband ( aged 50) was always tired and run down and got ill easily, He had been a Vegan since he was 12.)
I wear and use the leather I owned before become a vegetarian a few years ago. I'm an avid equestrian, and my saddles, bridles, chaps, working boots, western show boots, and belt are leather. However, I've replaced several items with synthetics already, and I plan to keep going until I own no leather. My everyday clothing and things--wallet, belt, shoes, etc--are all non-leather.
I do feel guilty using my last few leather items, but I refuse to buy more and I guess it's better to use the leather than to waste it. I stop and think "Yes, a cow died for this." when I'm putting on my shoes or mounting my horse, but I also remind myself that throwing out the leather would be wasteful and make the animal's death even more senseless.
no
NO!
No. But I wear fake leather. Real leather is cruel.
NO!!!
I have one item. A watch with a leather band.
I bought it before I became vegetarian and before I started the working towards the lifestyle of a vegan.
When it comes time to replace the watch... I will not purchase another leather one...
I just can't see tossing it out... that seems more disrespectful to me.
Not usually. I personally have never really liked it that much even when I wasn't a vegetarian. Same with fur too.
i do free throw away leather....i do not buy it, i prefer to not have it ....on or otherwise, but because i obtain all that i have for free when i am able to....i only own one pair of shoes at a time, and when they die, if the next pair i get from the free table/store, or handerdown is leather, i will not say no.....vegans hate me if you dare, but i am a non paying consumer....i live on others "waste".....so that i can do less to waste......i am doing what i feel is right.....getting free would be throw away leather is better than buying the production of anything.....synthetic or not
no... wearing skin doesn't exactly appeal to me.
