“Why is this a problem? It’s not like the cow was using it anymore.”

The hides are taken from cows slaughtered for food.

So, in a very real sense, one could respond “Why is this a problem? It’s not like the cow was using it anymore.”

Alex, I used to work with leather years and years ago. Lamb skin and even skin from full grown sheep is too fragile to use for wallets. If you want lamb skin, you'll have to go out and buy that coat, or a vest or maybe a cap -- all of which will set you back a lot more than good ole durable cowhide. Now if you really want to upset the PETA-niks, you can get any of the above (except maybe the wallet) out of Bambi hide. Again, more costly than cow hide, but just as durable and worth the extra cost.]]> “Unfortunately all this stuff is made from cowhide.

Reminds me next year on EATAPETA Day to make sure I’m wearing leather shoes, leather belt, and carrying a leather wallet. I don’t have a leather jacket but it might be worth buying one for the occasion.

This is something that appears to ba a moral decision but is not. Like PETA, he would object to killing animals, while supporting killing humans Jooos.
