The cattle industry is horrid. Boycotting or avoiding leather goods is not the lever that will harm the industry. Using leather goods means less waste from the meat industry. Leather items are good

I'm not vegan, nor am I opposed to leather goods, but this doesn't make sense. You're assuming that leather is strictly a byproduct of the meat industry and given for free to leather suppliers. In reality, they sell the hides. In effect, leather subsidizes meat products by providing the meat industry with extra revenue.

If you disagreed with killing animals for meat to begin with, you'd find this a very bizarre statement. It's like saying we should use human teeth as a building material because it reduces waste from police violence.

Oh god, don't start wearing more fur. I can barely breath around other humans as it is with all the shit y'all have on.
