Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Hiya, Personally, I still keep those things around. Although I tend not to use them, because then I don't have to explain that I got them before I went vegan. A lot of things like that are down to personal views, and vegans vary a lot.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 I've always felt that it is the moment of purchase which marks the influence we have on the market I entirely agree - the animal industry is about money so either make use of the leather boots until they are worn through or donate them, either way the product has been paid for so the moral decision has been made already.
