imho, it is better to use things we already own which aren't vegan than to leave

them to go to

waste. this means we aren't throwing away goods which for the majority of the

world it would be a

luxury to own, we are saving valuable resources, and also it means that the

animal didn't give the

products to us needlessly, didn't die pointlessly.

It's up to you. Do you think you are setting a bad example for veganism by

wearing it? If you don't then you have your answer.

 

If you do then give it away to a charity shop and buy/save up for a vegan

alternative.

Ewan,

I've had to deal with the same issues but with just shoes and belts

never having been into leather much anyway.

I found that I didn't want to wear any leather anymore. It's actually painful to

me because I am so acutely aware of what it is

and what it represents. As all things carry vibrations, so too the skin of a

murdered animal does. Those vibrations affect you whether you are aware of it or

not. It would be better for your growth not to wear it anymore. If you continue

to wear it you are also advertising to others that leather is ok and it really

isn't. I also don't recommend giving it to someone else. If I were you I'd put

it in the closet and leave it there as a reminder of what and who I once was.

[100% veg*n ] moral dillemma

 

 

Hi,

I have been vegan for just over a year now, and in that time, apart from my

DMs i have worn no leather, which has meant my battered old biker jacket has

been sitting in the wardrobe. It cost a fair bit when i bought it and i

spent ages painting various things on it, and i feel it's a waste. Since

going vegan i have in no way contributed to the leather industry or farming

industry etc and nor do i intend on doing so again, so in the meantime is it

wrong to wear my old punk jacket again? what is the point in just keeping it

stuck in the wardrobe when i've had it for so long and it still has a good

bit of durability left in it? Does anyone else out there wear any leather

items that they bought before going vegan or do you think it is still wrong

to do so? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

 

Ewan.

i disagree. i think if someone wants a leather jacket, its better to give them

one from a previously dead cow than having to kill anotehr one. if theyre going

to wear it anyway, may as well help make reduce the problem a little. plus if

someone else is wearing it, you can always be like 'hey, see that jacket? i

painted that!'

Perhaps but there's also karma associated with providing a leather jacket to

another person. You're assuming it will

replace one that someone else would buy anyway but that might not be the

case.Anyway you'd be a leather products

distributor then for that one jacket.

Hi Ewan, I would say anything you do in life is your own choice, it all

depends on how you feel. The only problem you may find is that non veggies

will always, and I mean always, question you about it and you will have to

be prepared to defend yourself, it's just the kind of thing they leap on to

try and discredit you. I only say this because my hubby did the same with

his trainers. He felt he couldn't give worn trainers to a charity shop and

so carried on wearing them till they were no good, so as not to be

frivolous. I can't tell you the amount of times he was questioned

agressively over them and I think he was glad when they went in the bin. I

still have a wooly jumper that I wear around the house.

Just follow your heart!

Love Shell.

i guess i dont see that. if its ok to wear leather til it wears out, is it ok to

eat meat that would otherwise be wasted? why are we vegan if we choose to let

animals die that will never be eaten? where do we draw the line? i had a vegan

friend once who liked to wear leather, and he BOUGHT leather as well but

justified it by buying it second hand. i wish i could say to each his own, but

to me leather is never vegan, no matter when you made the purchase. call me a

hypocrite if you want since i watch movies, drive a car, wear rubber shoes,

etc... but i think killing an animal for leather is a lot more direct than

putting their ground up bones in movie reels.

Why is there bad karma in giving away a leather jacket to charity, but not

in going around and deriving pleasure from having a dead cow skin wrapped

around you?

There is karma in both cases. Honestly, when I became a vegan, I wasn't sure

what to do with my leather things.

I couldn't see continuing to use them and I couldn't see giving them to anyone

either. It seemed to make sense to me

to just put them in the closet and not do anything with them. Maybe that's a cop

out.

no i just didnt understand how giving away something that you arent comfortable

keeping would make you a distributor.

That makes you a distributor of one item. If you aren't comfortable with it,

there's a good reason.

Why then pass it on to someone else if there's a reason you don't want it for

yourself. On some level

there's something bad associated with it and you are passing that bad thing to

another person who will then have to deal with it in some way whether

or not they are vegans now or not.

Because the alternative is wasteful, because you can do more good by giving

it away to charity, because if you just bury it the animal's life was not

only taken from it, but was also done in vain.

The animal's life was wrongfully taken that can never be undone. That life is

honored by you by having come to realize

that it is wrong to take life and by your having become a vegan never to do so

again. By keeping it, it serves as a reminder to you of what you

have done and where you are now so as to strengthen your commitment to veganism.

Meat eaters do at some level know that to kill animals

is wrong even if they aren't consciously aware of it simply because of the God

in them that is there however deeply buried. The last thing

the meat eater needs is more death and pain karma to deal with on top of what

they've already got. The animal did not die in vain because

it's life is being honored by you as having been the last murder participating

you did which will ever be a mark upon you for which you will

spend however many years in this life and others to atone for. In some future

life you will be murdered by that animal to balance the books.

If I were to participate in the murder your father and make a jacket out of him

and then realize that it was wrong to have done so, resolving never to do so

again, would it be better to give the jacket, which carries with it his pain,

horror and suffering, as well as the sadness and pain of your other family

members over his death and the horrible circumstances thereof, to another or

keep it? When you give such a thing to another you also give the pain,

suffering, and horror that goes with it. Those vibrations are part of the jacket

and they are felt on some level by whomever comes into contact with it.

I was only offering an answer as to why there is a benefit in giving away

leather artifacts.

 

>By keeping it, it serves as a reminder to you of what you have done and

>where you are now so as to strengthen your commitment to veganism.

 

I would have to say, though, that if you need to do that then clearly you

need to think more carefully as to why you are vegan that you need to be

surrounded by reminders.

 

>Meat eaters do at some level know that to kill animals is wrong even if

>they aren't consciously aware of it simply because of the God in them that

You see, here we go again. You are putting your own metaphysical beliefs

onto everyone else. I have no problem with you believing what you do, nor

in keeping leather artifacts as they serve some positive function to

you. Nor though would I dismiss someone who gave to charity etc.

 

Someone who eats meat, however, is a different matter for all the reasons

you see given in ethics and environmental studies.

Nice question, highly lacking in any analogy with the matter at hand

mind. Aside from the fact that I don't know if you are setting this up in

a hypothetical land where wearing father skin coats is acceptable (which

would be analogous to cow leather) or not but certainly I can't imagine any

family in our society that would want to keep such a coat.

 

> When you give such a thing to another you also give the pain, suffering,

> and horror that goes with it. Those vibrations are part of the jacket and

I do not in any way believe in such vibrations.

Thanks everyone who contributed feedback to my moral dillemma, a lot of

interesting points and arguements were raised but after much soul searching

and talking to vegan and non-vegan friends alike i have decided that i am

sure that i will definately never buy any leather goods again and haven't

done so since turning vegan, but in defense of the jacket; i have no other

waterproof/partcularly warm jackets. It cost my parents quite a few quid

when i got it 6 years ago and now I'm totally skint so i can't afford a

vegan replacement. Before i was veggie me and that jacket were inseperable

and the artworks fantastic if i do say so myself. Not wearing the jacket

won't bring the cow back. 3 of my favourite bands are the Clash, the Misfits

and the Ramones so i've already got a bit of a thing for the leather jacket

image (terrible excuse i know!).

On the other hand however; i'm sure i'd feel concious of the fact that

i'm wearing leather. I'd have to defend my beliefs even more to people. I'd

feel like an advertisement for leather and as such i'd feel just slightly

stupid asking for vegan food and causing the usual fuss that tends to ensue.

So, my best friend (a non-vegan as it happens) suggested the compromise

of wearing it out for maybe a week or less - if i feel comfortable wearing

it then i at least have some justification for doing so; owning it for 5

years before i turned vegan and having no intention of ever contributing to

the leather industry again in the forseeable future - if i feel like a

hypocrite wearing it then thats fine as well, i'm sure i could find another

home for it if i asked about.

So thats what i think i'm gonna do, i'll be sure and let you know how it

turns out. Thanks again.

It's a fact of human nature that in every argument people have to have the last

word and be " right " .

By using you father as an analogy I was trying to personalize the issue to the

limit because in a very real sense

all living things are members of a family.

 

>I can't imagine any family in our society that would want to keep such a coat.

 

But it's ok to let someone else keep it if we can see the point that it's there

father too.

 

I have faith in our meat eating brothers and sisters. Weren't you and I meat

eaters at one time.

 

The truth is that nothing is solid and still. All things are vibrating all of

the time and they send out waves that touch and affect every other thing and

person whether you believe it or not you are still affected. These waves consist

of everything that ever happened or ever will happen.

That's why some people can get impressions by touching a thing or another being

about it's past or future.

 

We are however at different places a long The Path and must do what we feel is

right according to where we are so that what feels right to

me doesn't to you. That's ok.

we associate leather with bad because we are vegan, people who are not vegan

dont think leather is bad, therefore to them its not bad. if you feel

uncomfortable with something, it doesnt necessarily mean its bad in general,

just bad for YOU.

Hi,

 

I'm new here.

 

My brother, who is a typcial american lifestyle, does think meat and leather

is bad, however he uses both of them.

 

I think of " good " and " abd " as judgements that aren't directly innate

characteristics of things.

Like leather can be described in terms of where it comes from, and what

happens to the animals, and environment. It can be described in specific

descriptions, amounts of water waste, number of animals killed, etc. But

" bad " is something that can't be measured or observed.

 

If I was a bull being killed, it wouldn't matter to me if people thought it

was bad or not, regardless of their judgements, I'd still be killed. I

think is the fundamental thing to consider, and not how we feel about it.

I think I should think of how both I -and- the animals feel about it, since

we both matter more than just me alone.

 

All a matter of knowing what is happening, paying attention to how it makes

me feel, and making a decision based on how I feel and what I know

It's all connected.

" A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the 'Universe', a

part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts

and feelings, as something separate from the rest- a kind of optical

delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison

for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a

few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to fee ourselves from

this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all

living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is

able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such

achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation

for inner security. " - Albert Einstein
