Rule

I mean we can also make long lasting clothes out of natural fibers without hurting animals.

What do you think most clothes were made out of before polyester? Most people wore cotton, linen, or wool clothes. The first two are from plants, the last one doesn't kill the animal. Hemp was also a major source of textile. Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?

Leather doesn't breathe and you don't kill sheep for their wool. What are you talking about?

Nice example of a false equivalency...

Last time I checked we didnt have to kill sheep to get their wool to make clothes. Does wool not last as long or did I miss something?

Processed leather generally isn't biodegradable.

You don't have to kill animals, though. You can make leather out of plants.

isnt there this mushroom based fakeleather stuffthingie?

this for example:

ok the animation is kinda gross... if you find fungi gross, but i think these are just fun little guys also, i guess its more of a thing in the future when there is more competition in the market of mycelium based textiles or whatever and prices arent that crazy..

Leather is a by-product of dairy and beef production, there is vastly more leather than we use for garments. Most of it gets processed into pet food or makeup or automotive lubricants or who knows what

JUST BE NAKED

Never understood the leather/fur hate. But I'm also not vegetarian.

Will nobody think of the profits?? The sweet sweet short-term profits of somebody else?

/s

yea if you are satisfied having like a pair of shoes or two at most I think it would be fine. But if you want to renew your wardrobe completely every year, then the problem is elsewhere.

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

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.

So...make clothes the old way?

Eewooo eewooo, false dichotomy alarm!!!!

It puts the lotion on the skin...
