I knew this would come up..
I dont own alot of leather a few purses and shoes, ( I actually have 3 leather like coats) that would surprise anyone, how real they look and feel. , it enters my mind. But like Villette mentioned, I agree with alot of what Peta says and stands for, but I'm not a Fanatic about it.. I'm not a Vegan or a vegetarian.. But It does enter my mind as I eat certain things.. as for leather,, the day I see a video of someone skinning a live cow,, That will be the day I become a vegetarian, I'm sure of it. I also believe, correct me if I'm wrong.. but cows are used for other purposes,, like meat, etc. Rather than being skinned and the carcass and meat being thrown on a truck to rott.~ JMO

I've watched almost all the PETA videos, and they are all so horrible. I almost want to go veg just from seeing the horrible things they do to cows & pigs & chickens. Did you know that the cows have their throats slit while alive and sometimes they start cutting off limbs before they're dead.... ugh I'm making myself sick just thinking about it.... Yet for some reason I can't bring myself to give up meat...

[MeganCFT]

Oh...my....god! I had no idea they did it like this. I think that was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. I couldn't watch the whole thing, I only lasted a few seconds. How can people do that?!?!!??! I was against it already, but to find out they are skinning them ALIVE!!!! I am at a loss for words.

OMG I just literally ran to the bathroom and threw up my lunch. That was so awful. I can't stop crying.

I agree - this always enters my mind too Kristy - I DO have leather. I have 5 pair of Leather pants....Coats, boots & purses - I even used to have a Leather Panama hat...and I DO wear it all. Leather is all around us. FUR IS NOT and shouldn't be.

We don't kill cows ONLY for their skin ....they are a staple in our lives....We use them for food & many other things... I'm almost positive almost every cow part is used for something. While I hate knowing how they are killed - It's not going to stop...at least not in our lifetime.

The day a Cow is slaughtered for only it's skin... and no other reason... is the day I NEVER EVER Buy leather again.

Maybe one day Humans will find substitites for meat and this killing will stop but in the case of those animals on these videos - These animals were being tortured and skinned ALIVE For a Cosmetic Materialistic reason - for nothing other than their skin.... so some Silly mindless person can show themselves off in Fur.

Poor Jen - I stopped the video myself for that same reason....Are you ok now girlfriend ? It IS bad.... but the only way people will be outraged is if they SEE it with their own eyes...it's hard to watch... but if no one watched then no one would know this happens and happens every DAY.

Fur is EASILY Manufatured & Imitated - Hell...the fake fur looks the same as real fur - this slaughter does NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN.

Thanks V. I just have a weak stomach -- I really should NOT watch videos like that but my curiousity gets the better of me sometimes.

I don't ever recall it being cold enough in Alabama that I would have to have my skin and someone else's too on me to keep me warm!

That is Exactly why I posted this .. AWARENESS! People need to know this is happening. SO many people do not.. SO many wearing fur DO NOT. If you can watch that, and it NOT affect you... and you dont have a whole new outlook on fur wearers...then I feel sorry for you. JMO.

I think it absolutely disgusting and unbelievable. Why the heck do they skin animals alive? I just dont understand it. Does anyone know? It doesnt make it right even if they killed them first but I dont understand why they make the animal suffer by keeping it alive when they skin it.

Same here.. I showed it to one of my coworkers, who is a hunter,and he said the same thing... I'm sure they get bit often.. GOOD!

It just really doesnt make any sense. How hard is it to inject them with something that would instantly kill them? I mean it really cant make any difference to the quality of the fur to kill the animal first but yet why wont they do it? Killing an animal for fur is still sick but its just so unfathomably sick to skin an animal alive. Pisses me off

[Shanatink]

I dont want anyone yelling at me I just want to know the truth. Cows are killed first before they are skined for leather right? And are cows that are used for leather definetly used for thier meat too? Does anyone know? Are they tortured? Im not sure I really want to know as it will make me very sad, but I think I should know.

From what I've found out over the years

Not all leather is cow.
Not all cows skinned for leather are eaten. Most aren't healthy enough.
People who raise cows for food take better care of them than those who raise cows for leather hydes. JMO.
