I was responding directly to your point. That fur is not a byproduct of food farming. But leather might be. But it's not a byproduct because you probably get more money from the leather than the meat.
Sorry, I should have said animal skin as a general term rather than use fur.

Leather is now cheaper than it has ever been, strangely enough. Camden market is now all leather at knockdown prices, cheaper than 20 years ago!

Crikey! It's turned into U-Know! ;o)

Always makes me smile when people say that we were meant to eat meat and point to their canine teeth as "evidence"..! Can you imagine prancing around a forest after your prey, finally catching up with it and attempting to tear the flesh off using your canines? :oD Maybe it's just me then... Arf!

We weren't made to eat meat (otherwise we wouldn't need to cook it, shurely?) - I'm sure at some stage of our evolution it became a necessity, but in teh 21st century, there's plenty of alternatives to most of us, so for me, meat's off the menu.

Although, not being vegan, I don't EAT leather, try to avoid it wherever alternatives are available, but do own the odd belt or shoe made of said stuff...
