those are from a minuscule portion of the animals. plant and polymer substitutes are readily available for most use cases, and where the real thing matters, a few animals may of course still be raised for that dedicated purpose. this is about reducing meat consumption.

- harimau777 6y agoThere are definitely issues where plant and polymers can be good substitutes but they often aren't as good. Plant based fabrics tend to have much worse performance than the animal derived alternatives. Granted, that doesn't apply to clothing being worn purely for fashion. Polymer based fabrics often do not wear well and may have issues with micro-plastics and outgassing.
