Vegan Leather??

[Suze]

you know what gets me is that

they are wearing "plastic leather" that is embossed to look like "real leather"

this to me says that they want the "look of leather" anyway

I really don't see any issue at all here folks. After all, has anybody seen a cow that was not a vegan? Therefor if the providing animal is a vegan, than the leather made from said animal is vegan leather. Right?

You might remember a few years ago here in the UK we had a problem when they started feeding ground up dead cows back to cows!

(a little sarcastic humor)... so, this would mean leather that comes from cows, sheep, goats as they are all vegetarians???

And I've never seen Lion leather or Tiger leather or Bear leather either (...lions & tigers & bears, Oh my!).

Vegan leather is such an oxymoron that I looked it up. Wikipedia took me here. Bleh.

A bit like a vegetarian meatball?

I recently went to a week long leather workshop and asked a friend if I could borrow her camping trailer to save some money on the hotel bill. She said no as she would feel as if she were contributing to the use of leather, which she is against. I couldn't believe it.... I don't think our friendship will ever be the same....

Probably the surest way to determine if someone is wearing leather or vinyl is to simply approach them with an open flame.
