As a vegetarian can i use this...?!
Answers: i have a laptop bag from Samsonite. it's leather. i think it's real leather, i'm not sure. it was very expensive and i just got it. i recently became a vegetarian, and i'm not sure if it's okay for mr to use this bag. please keep in mind it was very expensive and i need it for school. thanks=)
Many vegetarians use leather, as vegetarianism is mostly diet, although some don't. You're not 100 percent sure it's leather, but you can check the label, if there is one. But since you just got it, go ahead and use it, maybe you got it just after you went vegetarian or around the same time.
But as someone pointed out, the next bag should be animal-free. There are plenty of vegan retailers that offer cool nonleather laptop bags.
Whether or not you want to use leather is up to you and your personal reasons for going vegetarian.
Well, if it's leather, it's not exactly consistent with a vegetarian lifestyle. You're carrying your laptop around in dead animal skin.
If it's not, you're okay.
It sounds as though you've already made enough excuses for it - what do you need our opinions for?
As long as you don't eat the bag its ok.
It depends on your personal reasons for being vegetarian. The ethical decision is all yours. There's no rule book to guide you.
Some vetetarians use leather products, some don't. Some may choose to keep using products they already own, but avoid purching new leather products.
It's really your choice.
are you eating the bag???
Use it if you want to. No one is gonna come get you, not even the veggie police.
You mean a vegan, since your vegetarian to avoid animal killing in the first place.
Thats like me!
Im a vegetarian but i have a leather bag for school and a few leather pairs of shoes. I know its against vegetarianism but its really,really hard to find shoes made without leather that are suitable for school. You mayswell keep it now but try not to buy much leather in the future,like i am!
use it but the next bag you get, can be non leather.
If you want to use the bag then use it. However, if you go around and start preaching to people about your veg ways and how eating meat is wrong, well then expect some ribbing from people regarding your bag. If you act normal, nobody will care. Besides you said you are a vegetarian not a vegan. I think you are fine.
If it's leather, I personally wouldn't choose to use it. I don't purchase or use leather products.
Use the bag! Just be prepared that if you are preachy/ holier-than-thou about being a vegetarian, you will be giving yourself and other vegetarians a bad name!
don't eat it!
I'm with firematt, as long as you don't eat it you will be fine. Ignore people who give you a hard time over using leather. As long as you don't force them to use leather, they shouldn't care.
Vegetarians don't eat meat. It doesn't mean you can't own leather.
