morninghymn [none/use name]@hexbear.netOPto vegan@hexbear.net•The glorification of leather is infuriatingEnglish1·1 year agoI haven’t seen Earthlings since before I became vegan which was a long time ago and im not sure if I’ll ever be able to watch it again because it really is so difficult to get through, but yeah it does shine a light on a lot of the bullshit that is regurgitated by carnists
morninghymn [none/use name]@hexbear.netOPto vegan@hexbear.net•The glorification of leather is infuriatingEnglish1·1 year agoyeah it’s silly, I think it’s just a poor attempt to make themselves feel better about how awful the animal agriculture industry is, especially since these people don’t usually want to put an end to the meat industry that provides them with their leather, they just want “better conditions” for the animals being slaughtered or to replace slaughterhouses with “happy humane family farms” that allow animals to frolic around before they’re sent to their death. the other extremely common argument for the usage of leather is that it lasts a very long time so as long as you use it for life it’s sustainable, or people will also try to hold on to using leather products by buying second hand because you’re not directly supporting the leather industry. but of course we still shouldn’t be wearing the skins of butchered animals and by continuing to do so we’re signaling to others that’s it’s morally permissable and that animals are still just commodities/objects to be worn
watching this video only made the reaction of the man in the video I posted look even more ridiculous, lol. cows really are just curious creatures, I’m not sure why someone would think that a swarm of cows would approach you because they want to collectively kill you or beat the shit out of you or something
