sheepskin..., animal cruelty?! Options

[*xcaitlinx*]

how come so many people consider shaving sheeps for their wool animal cruelty? THEY DON`T KILL THE ANIMALS! anyway, they shave the skin in the summer. The sheep prolly like it better because they dont have to have all that fur on their back in the heat. Explain to me how this is animal cruelty, because I really want to know.

Alternatives: cotton, cotton flannel, synthetic fibers, ramie, etc.

hmmm... someone should tell PETA...

cotton is grown in fields, which evict local wildlife.

if you buy cotton you're supporting the habitat destruction of millions of squirells!

boycott all plant fiber clothes!! and all animal derivered clothes.

sythetic fibers are tested on animals to make sure they don't do anything strange.

boycott those too!!!

Have you been reading Maddox?

But sheep skin isn't much worse that leather and all that. I use lots of leather products so you can probably see where I'm coming from, Van, all leather seats, car, leather seats, sofa, love seat, chair, all leather, computer chairs x3 all leather. The animals die anyways. They might as well help us in some manner. Plus the cows or sheep don't go to waste, their meat is then sold to hungry people everywhere.
