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.
You can check the modlog of any community on lemmy. It's the green button by the community sidebar. It shows who, when, and why, when something gets removed.
There's always a reason given when comments are deleted. Afaik it doesn't even need to be your comment but could be the comment you replied to but I'm a newbie
Can you still provide the content of the message? Maybe I'll remember if it was actually the comment that got deleted or a parent that you replied to :)
All good! OP (me) just asked for boots and this is just off-topic. Could have included that in the reason but from the UI I thought I only have one line. Don't take it too seriously! I'm still new to Lemmy. Let me know if this felt wrong to be removed.
Without going into the details of the complete field of life-cycle assessment, this is not how co-products are assessed.
The leather industry position generally, is that leather is a byproduct, which would allow them to conveniently exclude all emissions and impacts prior to the slaughter and (some of the) torture of the cattle.
Leather though, is not a by-product but a co-product - this is well established. What this means is that it is so significant an income stream, that it is likely that many or even all of the cattle in a given group would not have been raised and slaughtered in the first place without both or multiple income streams coming from that slaughter. This is why LCA calculates the entire lifecycle of the cattle, and is the position adopted for leather by independent international sustainability groups and academia generally.
