Genuine question: Is avoiding leather really that great? Leather seems much more durable than plastic, and its from a part of the animal thats really just thrown away anyway.
“Vegan” originally meant “vegetarian + no non-food animal products”, which later got distorted into “vegetarian”, then thanks to crooks promoting the “carnivore” diet, “person that actually eats their veggies”. No really, the last one started to spread from gymbro forums after one of them said “um, ackchually, fiber is carbs too”.
Vegans avoid animal products outside food too?
Yes.
Sorry didn’t mean it as an actual question. More an incredulous tone
Depending on the reason for being vegan.
For animal rights/ethics, yes.
For health/climate, potentially less so.

making the leather is a horrible process, making skin into the product you know requires a lot of chemicals that aren’t great for the environment
Leather is not necessarily a byproduct but a coproduct.
Thanks for answering!
For the environment thing, would making leather clothes be worse than making plastic clothes?
Vegans love microplastics.
edit: lol, love you cud chewers
