Maybe they're "pleather"? Seriously, when I went vegan, a vegan acquaintance of mine asked, "So when are you having your leather-disposal party?" She got quite upset when I told her that I wasn't having one. My attitude is that having already bought leather products, it would be wasteful to dispose of them before they're worn out, to buy replacement items derived from non-animal sources. As my leather items wear out, their replacements will be made from cruelty-free resources. I think that's responsible, and so do many other vegans and animal-welfare advocates. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
