I’m searching for boots similar to these but vegan for obvious reasons. I love boots but haven’t had them for years because I couldn’t find any cool-looking.

        I actually think it’s weird as shit to kill somebody, peal their skin off of their corpse, soak it in noxious chemicals, and then like make a hat out of it or whatever.

        Like seriously that’s fucked up, the only reason you don’t think that is because you don’t recognise the personhood of the creature who’s skin you’re using.

        They feel just like we do, they have families and friends, they play, they explore, they get scared, they feel pain. I don’t think they’re things to use.

          Plus I’ve seen videos of dogs still alive while they ripped off their skin. I mean they aren’t actually even dead before they get brutally hurt with pain no one should ever dare to describe.
