Seriously, when I went vegan, a vegan acquaintance of mine asked, "So

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.
You realize, don't you, if we all went vegan to "save the animals",
there would not be enough flora food on the earth to feed us, and we'd
go back to killing animals for food, if they hadn't already all been
killed to turn their grazing land into farmland.
